Standing stone in Ballinacarrig

Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of the S-facing slope of Tara Hill. This stone was recorded in 1940 as a rectangular block (dims c. 1.4m N-S; c. 0.45-0.5m E-W; H 0.9-1m) with a N-S crest (dims c. 0.6m c 0.2-0.25m) (OSFM). It was removed in the 1970s and nothing is visible at ground level. The standing stone (WX007-027----) is c. 110m to the WNW, and the possible standing stone (WX007-029----) is c. 115m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 22 November 2012

Probably dating to the Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, potentially linked to the broader ceremonial landscape of Tara Hill. No specific folklore or use is recorded for this site.
