Stone row in Cartrún An Phóna

In a low-lying boggy area on the valley floor of Gleann Glaise a short distance to N of the Bealnabrack River. Comprises four white quartz stones, aligned N-S, and measuring 7m overall. The first and third stone, from N to S, have fallen but the original heights appear to have been variable (c. 0.9m, 0.9m, c. 1.5m, 0.75m). There are three fulachta fiadh (GA025-016----, GA025-020----, GA025-021----) in the same valley.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, the stone row may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligned with seasonal or astronomical events. Such arrangements are often associated with funerary practices or territorial markers in prehistoric landscapes.
