What is recorded here

Standing stone in Creevy is a two-metre limestone block set on an NNW-facing pasture slope in County Longford. It stands beside a possible pond-barrow and near a stone circle, marking an old landscape where people still move through open fields. The stone does not need a legend to be remarkable; it is a visible anchor in ordinary terrain, waiting to be noticed.

On a NNW-facing slope in pasture. Indicated on all editions of the OS 6-inch map. This irregularly shaped, limestone block (H c. 2m; Wth 1.3m; T 0.3m) is aligned NNE-SSW. A possible pond- barrow (LF011-008----) lies c. 55m to the NE and a stone circle (LF011-007----) is c. 760m to the WNW. (Fredengren et al. 2010, 104, Pl. 3.12) Compiled by: Patrick F.

Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to the nearby possible pond-barrow as part of a wider ceremonial landscape. Local folklore or specific use is not recorded.
