What is recorded here
Wardhouse holds a small sandstone upright, barely seventy centimetres tall, set low instead of proud. Its modest size and hidden position suggest people once passed it without marvel, perhaps using it to mark a boundary, remember a loss or simply orient themselves in flat ground. The stone still stands because nothing has judged it worth removing.
In a low-lying position. This is a small sandstone upright (dims 0.37m x 0.55m; H 0.7m).
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.
