Standing stone

What is recorded here

According to Power (1908, 10) in Cooloran townland there is a 'fear bréagach - "Simulating a man"; a pillar stone on the mountain ridge'. This is unlocated within the townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the term "fear bréagach" may suggest a stone with ritual or symbolic significance, possibly representing a human figure or serving as a marker in a prehistoric landscape. Its description implies a connection to early Irish folklore or spiritual beliefs, though its exact meaning or use remains unclear.
