What is recorded here

Edenakill holds one standing stone in County Louth, but no visible record explains when it stood or why. That absence makes the stone larger, not smaller. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning. People may have passed it so often they stopped seeing it, which is the oldest fate of any monument.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded.
