Standing stone in Tullynamoyle

Standing stone

What is recorded here

One metre of granite stands on the south-facing slope in Tullynamoyle, its triangular profile cutting the conifer shadows like a knife edge. The stone points northeast and southwest along the valley, steady as a bone marker, while resin drips and wind strip the forest around it. Whatever hand set it there has long since crumbled to soil, leaving only the angle and the weight of the shape behind.
Situated on the S-facing slope of a NE-SW valley in a coniferous forest. A granite stone (dims 1.02m x 0.18m; H 1m) is oriented NE-SW with a triangular profile. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
