Standing stone in Lissagriffin

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Lissagriffin is a subrectangular stone aligned NW-SE in pasture with extensive views to S and SW. It stands 1.04m high and measures 1.7m by 0.75m, a compact vertical mark in an open landscape. People may have placed it as a boundary, memorial or wayfinder, but the view itself suggests more: a point for watching weather, travel or change.
