Standing stone in Lissava

Standing stone

What is recorded here

According to Power (1908, 27) in Lissava townland there is a 'Fear Bréige - "Man-Simulating Pillar Stone"; on mountain summit. This is possibly a standing stone which remains unlocated within this townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the "Fear Bréige" may have functioned as a territorial marker or ritual monument. The name suggests a possible link to early Irish folklore or druidic tradition, though its exact meaning or use remains uncertain.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
