Standing stone

What is recorded here

Cappagh More holds two stones, one standing and one fallen thirty metres north-west. The fallen block measures 3.65m long, 1.75m wide and 0.6m high, with a hole beneath its north end that may have been a socket for timber or ritual use. Whatever stood there before the stone fell, the hole preserves the shape of the missing part.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
