Standing stone in Doire Leathan

Tall upright stone (H 1.2m; 0.7m x 0.58m) of rectangular cross section situated on SSW facing slope of rising ground overlooking Teelin Bay to S. The long axis of the stone is orientated on a NW-SE axis. The stone does not have any evidence of packing stones around its base and does not possess the typical tapering point at the top which casts doubt about the antiquity of this stone.

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the orientation and location suggest it may have had a ritual or funerary function, possibly aligned with seasonal or celestial events. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for this site.
