What is recorded here
Inside Clonmeen North, an unmarked stone still stands beside the remains of a small dolmen-class monument. H. Roe recorded both in her unpublished Laois County gazetteer, but never gave the exact spot. The wood has taken back the path, the alignment and perhaps the hands that lifted the stones. What is left is a shape tall enough to break the treeline and quiet enough to disappear from memory.
Unlocated standing stone within townland that is described by H. Roe as a 'Standing Stone and small ruined monument of dolmen class' in her unpublished report Laois County; Gazetteer of Finds Monuments etc. p. 2.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a ritual or funerary landscape, possibly associated with a nearby dolmen or burial site. Its alignment or carvings, if present, could reflect astronomical or symbolic significance, though specific folklore or use remains undocumented.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
