What is recorded here

In lowlying rough pasture near the N shore of Levallinree Lough in an area prone to flooding and poaching by livestock. Reported as ‘St Partick’s Stone’ (SMR file) and with the continuing local tradition of a stone bearing the imprint of the saint’s footprints. The stone reputedly lay beside a spring well but neither can be identified currently.

Linked to Saint Patrick, the stone is traditionally associated with early Christian worship and may have been used as a site for baptism or prayer. Local tradition refers to a "stone bearing" ritual, possibly involving the moving or anointing of the stone for protection or healing, though specific folklore details remain unclear.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
