Standing stone in Caherhenryhoe

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No visible standing stone survives in Caherhenryhoe, though a map from 1838 marked a small stone on the hill slope. Quarrying has stripped the land around it, perhaps taking the stone itself or exposing it before it vanished. What remains is a missing marker: a place where the ground was taken and the story broke off.
On the NE-facing slope of a hill. Indicated on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a very small rectangular structure and named 'Stone' in Roman script. No visible surface trace survives. The area to the SE, S and W has been extensively quarried. Possibly the site of standing stone. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 16 December 2019
