What is recorded here
Glanmore’s standing stone is a long rectangular slab that fell beside the river, its north end still planted on a low circular mound. The mound may have been a deliberate base, and the nearby megalithic structure suggests the grassland once held a small ceremonial landscape. People may have marked time, loss or ownership at that spot before the stone collapsed into the pasture.
In level pasture, on the N bank of the Glanmore River. A roughly rectangular stone slab (1.12m x 0.4m; L 4m) lies on the ground where it appears to have fallen. The N end of the stone rests on a low roughly circular stony mound (diam. c. 2.4m; H 0.4m) on top of which is a possible packing-stone. A megalithic structure (KE111-006----) is c. 2.5m to the NW.
