Standing stone in Creeve

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Dr Keenan, in his notes on county Longford, refers to ‘a small Carn 24 feet [7.3m] in diameter and 4 feet [1.2m] high with a pillar stone 3 feet [0.9m] high on top of it’ in Creeve townland (Devaney 1981, 97). Neither the cairn (LF014-127----) nor possible standing stone were located. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 November 2011
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the standing stone may have been part of a ritual or funerary monument. Such stones often held symbolic or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to territorial markers or ancestor veneration.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
