Standing stone in Castlepark

Standing stone

What is recorded here

In level pasture. A limestone standing stone (H0.88m x 0.55m; H 2.1m), rectangular in plan and orientated NNW-SSE, with Galtee Mountains to the SSE. It leans slightly to the W. There is a depression around the base of the stone due to cattle erosion and there is evidence of cattle rubbing on the angles of the stone. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Dated to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its orientation and position suggest a possible alignment with landscape features or celestial events, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
