Standing stone in Killesk

Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a slight prominence. What is probably a granite stone is oriented E-W with a rectangular cross section (dims. 0.73m x 0.35m; H 1m) and a bluntly pointed top. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 28 January, 2013

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its orientation and placement on a slight prominence suggest a possible alignment with solar or ritual practices, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
