What is recorded here

Butlersgrange holds a thin triangular flagstone, seventy-six centimetres tall and barely thick enough for two hands to clamp around. Local story ties it to 1798, though it may be older and unlike the other standing stones nearby. It is the kind of place where a finger on its smooth edge can still catch the heat of a forgotten argument.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Thin, approximately triangular flagstone (H 0.76m; top Wth 0.56m, base Wth 0.84m; T 0.14m). Said locally to be connected with events of 1798. Possibly older, but unlike other standing stones in area.
