Standing stone in Grassyard

Standing stone

Why this matters

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.

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
