Standing stone in Cloonty

In rough pasture, on a slight rise at the foot of a N-facing slope. An upright stone (H 1.45m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.25m), with its long axis aligned E-W. The stone now leans slightly to the W. It is roughly rectangular in profile and section, and the top surface slopes up to the E. The upper half of the stone has been polished smooth by cattle rubbing against it.

Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its alignment and positioning suggest possible ritual use or connection to landscape features, though specific folklore or detailed function is not recorded.
