Standing stone in Dalystown

Standing stone

What is recorded here

On a rise in relatively well-drained pasture. This tall, wide, thin slab (H 1.7m; Wth 1.3m; T 0.2m) is aligned N-S. There are a number of small packing-stones at its base. A hut site (LF010-119----) is located c. 110m to the NW. (English 1971, 153; O'Donovan 2003, 22) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 14 December 2012
Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance, possibly linked to the nearby hut site. Its north-south alignment could reflect astronomical or ritual orientation, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
