What is recorded here

Standing stone described in 1987 by the 'Castleisland District Archaeological Survey' as a 'large blocklike sandstone [dims. 2.2m x 0.65m x 0.65m] is [now] lying horizontally forming the upper portion of a field fence. The landowner recalled the standing stone standing upright 20-30 feet [6 - 9m] to the south of its present location' (SMR File). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 27 April 2022
Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have originally marked a territorial boundary or served a ritual function before being repurposed as part of a field fence. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for the site.
