What is recorded here
One of two stones at that place, it stands in Millockstown, County Louth, not as a lonely marker but as a partner in a pair. Its age and purpose are no longer recorded, yet the shape of the claim survives: someone set two stones where one would have done nothing. That missing intent is the interesting part.
The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
