What is recorded here

Mullaghmesha emerges across the Mealagh River when mist lifts, framing the leaning stone that still marks the southern edge of the local field. A nearby fulacht fia suggests people once gathered, cooked and feasted beside this quiet boundary. The stone does not need a grand legend because it preserved the shape of ordinary life: people moving cattle, reading the valley and returning again and again to the same familiar slope.

In rough rush-covered grazing, on a S-facing slope with a view across the valley of the Mealagh River to Mullaghmesha. This standing stone (1.22m x 0.22m; H 1.75m) widens gradually as it rises and leans slightly to the NE. It is orientated NW-SE. The stone is situated on the S end of a field boundary. There is a cattle break immediately to the SW of the stone. A fulacht fia (CO106-077001-) lies c. 100m to the NE.
