What is recorded here
Killeens holds a fallen standing stone, 1.9m long and 0.7m wide, lying in pasture where it may have stood for centuries before toppling. Its flat, sturdy shape suggests it marked a boundary, a meeting place or a memory older than living witness. Whatever it pointed to has faded, but the stone still lies there, patient and unbroken beneath the grass.
In pasture. Fallen stone measuring 1.9m L; 0.2m x 0.7m). (Walsh 1985, 76, 119, no. 89)
