What is recorded here

Boolies holds a large rectangular stone rising 1.8m in a hollow, its broad end tilted toward the southeast. The land presses around it like a forgotten chamber, inviting people to imagine ceremonies, warnings or simple boundary marking. What is known is that the stone still stands where the earth curves beneath it, waiting for someone to remember why it was chosen.

Located in a hollow in an undulating landscape. This is a large stone with a rectangular cross-section (dims of base 1.5m x 0.45m) at the base which is oriented NW-SE. The stone increases in girth (max. dim. 2.05m NW-SE) c. 1m over the ground and the maximum height (1.8m) is achieved towards the SE end of the crest. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 October 2018
