What is recorded here

Cloichearaí holds a triangular standing stone beside the Ballyrishteen boundary, pointing north across poorly drained mountain ground. Ina Doyle identified the stone, yet no historic map ever drew it, suggesting human memory preserved what official records forgot. The shape may have marked a boundary, guided travellers, or watched the valley below.

Triangular-shaped standing stone immediately to N of townland boundary with BAILE RISTÍN (Ballyrishteen), on poorly drained mountainous region with commanding views to N. Standing stone identified by Ina Doyle, not depicted on any edition of the OSi historic maps. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Ina Doyle.

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial site. No specific folklore is recorded, though its position suggests a strategic or symbolic role in the landscape.
