What is recorded here
Clasharusheen stands nineteen decimetres tall on the north-facing slopes of Knocalady, its rectangular body tilted slightly toward the southwest. Cracks split both visible faces like frozen lightning, and loose stones scatter at its base as if the mountain shed its skin during a storm. The pasture around it has probably swallowed herds and holidays for centuries, yet the stone remains the clearest marker of human presence on that terrace.
In pasture, on a terrace, on the N-facing slopes of Knocalady. This standing stone (H 1.9m; 1.2m x 0.65m) is roughly rectangular in plan and section and is orientated NE-SW. Horizontal surface cracks are visible on the SE face and vertical surface cracks are evident on the NW face. Loose stones are scattered on the ground around the base of the standing stone.
