Standing stone

What is recorded here

In a prominent position on the W slope of a low hill, in a green area within a housing estate. A low, subrectangular limestone upright (H 1.02m; Wth 0.38m; T 0.26m). The top of the stone has been shattered in recent times and a piece has been broken off. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 24 December 2012
Probably dating to the Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its location on a prominent slope suggests it could have been part of a wider landscape of ceremonial or waymarking features, though specific folklore or use is not recorded.

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