What is recorded here

According to Power (1952, 82) Cloch a'Dallláin - the Pillar Stone - was a remarkable standing stone located 'a few perches' from the E-W stream at the N boundary of Lackenagreany. It remains unlocated. Power, Rev. P. (1952) The placenames of the Decies. (second ed.) Cork University Press. Date of upload: 6th October, 2011 Compiled by: Michael Moore
Likely dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, the stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, as suggested by its possible association with local landscape features. Its name, "Cloch a'Dallláin," hints at a possible connection to early Christian or Gaelic tradition, though its original prehistoric meaning remains unclear.
