Standing stone in Drumconny

Situated on a hillock (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S; H c. 4-6m) on the floor of a N-S valley, with a small canalised S-N stream c. 80m to the W. A stone with a rectangular cross-section (dims of base 1.2m x 0.2m) and a blunt pointed top (H 1.2m) is oriented NNE-SSW. About 10m S are five stones lying prone which are known locally as 'Finn McCool's Fingers'.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its placement on a prominent hillock suggests a possible alignment with landscape features or celestial events, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
