What is recorded here
Ten feet high and twelve in girth, the stone stood on Denis Duggan's land until fire blasted it around 1900. It towered over Lisnaboy Lower long enough to become the anchor of a field still named Stone Field. The exact spot has vanished, but the name remains, carrying the shadow of a stone that refused to leave quiet even after destruction.
Broker (1937, 32) recorded standing stone on Denis Duggan's land; '10ft high, 12 feet in girth: blasted with fire about 1900. Still called Stone Field'. Exact location not known.
