What is recorded here

Web entry revision based on information kindly supplied by Mr Edmond O’Donovan (March 2022.) At the E-edge of terrace on an E-facing slope overlooking the Irish Sea. The standing stone is orientated NNE-SSW (L 1.9m; H 1.7m; max. T 0.5m) and leans to the W some 15-20 degrees off the vertical. It is a local conglomerate metamorphic Greywacke stone with a white surface with orange staining and has a weathered surface texture. The base is slightly chipped revealing the original grey colour of the stone.
