What is recorded here

Monsieu Clonkeiffy has a standing stone in County Cavan, Ireland. It stands in fertile pasture, small and squat, with a base about one and a half metres across. Cattle may have rubbed themselves against it for centuries, turning an ordinary rock into a local landmark through repetition rather than ceremony.

Not marked on any OS ed. Sited on level ground in fertile pasture. Small, squat, upright stone (H 1.3m; Wth at base c. 1.5m ). May be a scratching stone for cattle rather than an antiquity. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
