What is recorded here

Near the highest point of a gravel ridge. A tapering granite stone with a roughly rectangular cross-section (H. 1.9m; L 0.4m N-S; Wth 0.3m tapering to L 0.2m; Wth 0.14m at the top). There are two depressions (possibly mortices cut for cross arms) on opposing, originally N and S, faces. The stone was removed in 1979 and re-erected at Baroda stud in Greatconnell townland, but was moved again subsequently. Burials (KD023-071----) have been discovered in this general area since the late-1940’s. (Meagher 1979-80, 123) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 06 June 2012
