What is recorded here

Standing stone in Luggacurren is a stone still standing in County Laois, recorded near the Dun of Luggacurren and a quarter of a mile from the Luggacurren road. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, though no exact ceremony is preserved. A person may have set it, touched it or simply passed it for generations before it became a forgotten shape in the field.

Roe in her unpublished report entitled 'Rude stone monuments in county Laoighis' as S.W. of the Dun of Luggacurren, SW of the Luggacurren road a quarter of a mile from the Dun there is a standing stone (p. 3).
