What is recorded here

One of four dallans in Mahanagh, this standing stone rose nine inches above ground with a girth of six feet seven inches, thirty yards west of its neighbour. The landowner himself pointed to its place before men removed it in recent times. It may still lie broken in the south-east corner of the field, waiting for someone to stop measuring and start listening.

This is one of four 'dallans' (CO016-242----, CO016-244----, CO016-245----) recorded by Bowman (2000, 181) in 'Mr. O'Reilly's' in Mahanagh townland. Bowman (ibid.) describes this stone as '(b) 30 yards [27.43m] west of (a) [CO016-242----]. 9" [0.23m] over ground, 6' 7" [2m] girth'. The location of this stone was pointed out by the present landowner. The stone was removed from this location in recent times. It may be one of two stones now lying in the SE corner of the field.
