Standing stone in Ballybrack (rathdown By., Glencullen Ed)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Two Rock Mountain still drops its shadow across the Glencullen River valley, where a broad triangular stone stands NNE to SSW on the SW moorland slope. It measures 0.97m long and 0.19m thick, rising beside a 0.2m-deep peat cover that hides any packing stones beneath. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, a burial, a prayer or a warning, but the mountain keeps that part of the story unfinished.
Situated on the SW open moorland slope of Two Rock Mountain on the N side of the Glencullen River valley. A standing stone (0.97m L and 0.19m T; p.85m H) with a broad triangular outline and its long axis is orientated NNE – SSW. No packing stones are evident as the peat cover is c. 0.2m deep (pers. comm.
