Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Cappanarrow,monelly,mounthall is an unlocated churchyard in Mounthall, County Laois, marked by a rough three-foot pillar-stone beside the Burying Bush. The tiny graveyard sits on the bounds of Cappanarra and Moonanelly, no more than fifteen yards square, small enough to be forgotten but distinct enough to keep its own name. A person may have set that stone upright, pointed at it during a storm, or simply walked past it until it became the reason the field was remembered.
