What is recorded here
Coppanagh stands on the southwest shoulder of a high drumlin hill in County Cavan, rising 1.4 metres before tapering to a sharp point. Its base measures 1.5 metres across, creating a slender silhouette against the sky. The stone remains unmarked on official maps, hiding in plain sight above the local landscape. It may have guided travellers, marked a boundary or waited for ceremonies now forgotten.
Not marked on any OS ed. Sited on the SW shoulder of a high drumlin hill. Standing stone(H 1.4m; max. dim. at base 1.5m) tapering to a point at the top.
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.
