Standing stone in Clogh (granard By.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Clogh in Granard By. holds a leaning limestone slab at the highest point of a low pasture rise. Its rectangular body tilts westward above set stones at its base, marking a place where people may have gathered to watch the sky or remember an event now lost. The stone still stands where the land rises, waiting for someone to read its silence.
At the highest point of a low rise in hilly pasture. This small, roughly rectangular, limestone slab (H 1.45m; Wth 0.45m; T 0.25m) is aligned NNE-SSW. It is now leaning appreciably to the WSW. A number of stones set are evident around its base. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 16 January 2013
Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its alignment and position on a prominent hill suggest a possible astronomical or ritual function, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
