Standing stone

What is recorded here

Situated atop a low hill in rolling pasture c. 100m SW of a rath (LI013-057----). Weathered limestone pillar (H 0.83m; Wth. 0.25m) with faces to the N and S. Cattle rubbing has smoothed it at its top (Toomey and Greensmyth 1991, Site 3). Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 26 June 2020
Probably dates to the Bronze Age, given its association with a nearby rath and typical megalithic traditions of the period. It may have had a ritual or territorial function, though specific folklore or symbolic meaning is not recorded.

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