What is recorded here

Boggaun held a rectangular stone fifty-four inches long and twenty-six inches high on the Tullyskeherny slope, but it has vanished from the ground entirely. The loss turns a ordinary marker into a missing piece of the valley, perhaps buried by soil or taken when the land changed hands. The nearby enclosure still stands ten metres north, waiting for the absent stone to complete its shape.

Marked only on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as a 'Standing Stone', it is situated on a rise towards the bottom of the NW-facing slope of the Tullyskeherny plateau and at the E edge of the Bonet river valley. It is described as a stone with a rectangular cross-section "54 inches by 14 inches, 26 inches high (dims c. 1.5m x 0.3m; H c. 0.75m)" and a rounded crest (OSFM). There is no other information and it is not now visible at ground level. The enclosure (LE011-097001-) is c. 10m to the N. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
