Standing stone in An Sliabh Riabhach

Standing stone

What is recorded here

An Sliabh Riabhach holds a three-metre stone on the southern slopes of the Derrynasaggart mountains, leaning slightly within a neat northeast-southwest line beside a conifer plantation. Packing stones at its base suggest deliberate placement rather than natural collapse, while the hillside pasture gives the marker an ordinary, lived-in presence. The contrast between the rigid geometric alignment and the wild Atlantic landscape creates a quietly striking image.
