What is recorded here
Ardgroom Outward holds a rectangular stone one metre tall beside a fallen companion in boggy ground at the foot of Tooreennamna Mountain. The upright faces north-east, while the larger prostrate stone lies two and a half metres away like a shadow detached from its body. Neither is buried, decorated or tied to a known date. They simply waited out the centuries in wet grass, perhaps marking a boundary, a loss or a path now forgotten.
In a level boggy area with nearby outcropping rocks, at the foot of Tooreennamna Mountain. This standing stone (0.52m x 0.4m; H 1.06m) is rectangular in plan and section and is orientated NNE-SSW. A prostrate stone (L 1.2m; Wth 0.45m) lies on the ground 2.6m to the N. Its relationship with the standing stone is unclear.
