What is recorded here

Standing stone in Cashel (tirawley By.) is a large squat boulder on the NE shoreline of Curraghfin Lough, now set in wet marshy ground after drainage works reduced the lake. Its long axis points NNW-SSE, and its rounded rectangular shape rises just over a metre from the damp earth. The stone may have marked a place people could still find when the water receded or the marsh changed with the seasons.

Located in wet ground on the NE shoreline of Curraghfin Lough. The lake occupies a shallow natural basin ringed by gently rising ground. Due to drainage works, the lake is reduced to an expanse of wet marshy ground. This consists of a large squat boulder (H 1.25m; Wth c. 0.9m; T 0.85m at base, 0.6m at top), roughly rectangular with rounded corners in transverse section, with its long axis aligned NNW-SSE. In profile, on the short axis, the sides of the stone taper gently towards the top, but on the long axis profile the stone appears flat-topped and rectangular.
