What is recorded here
Leitrim More, hilly pastureland, County Galway, Ireland. One stone stands, another lies broken, ninety metres apart. The landowner remembers height; the ground remembers only a small irregular piece that refuses to move. Both are still there, doing nothing visible, waiting to be seen as stones rather than measured as ruins.
In hilly pastureland, some 90m to the SE of another possible standing stone (GA116-087----). Indicated and named 'Stone' in Roman script on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On inspection all that was visible was a small stone, which was irregular in shape and only a few centimetres above the ground surface. According to the landowner, it originally was very high but it was broken up years ago. The remaining piece could not be moved. Possibly a standing stone.
