Two standing stones formerly stood at the junction of the townlands of Hacklim and Millockstown. They were known respectively as 'Garrett's Stone' and 'The Horse's Head'. They were removed in the course of road-widening c. 1925, and one was broken up. The other stone (max. dims. L 2.2m, 0.6m square in section) now lies in the roadside ditch. (CLAJ 1950, 125-6)
