Standing stone in Grassyard

Standing stone

What is recorded here

In relatively level, low-lying pasture. This upright slab (H 1.37m; Wth 1.3m; T 0.65m) is aligned NW-SE. Close to the top of the SE face is a barely visible, small, crude cross. (Fredengren 2010, 106, Pl. 3.16) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 December 2012
Probably dating to the early medieval period, the small cross on the SE face suggests a Christian association, possibly marking a burial site or waystation. Its alignment and location may also reflect earlier ritual or territorial significance.

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