What is recorded here

Mortons stands on a narrow ridge beneath Slieve Glah, an irregular pillar tapering to a point like a broken tooth. Rain and wind, not human tools, likely cut its shallow cups, yet people have always seen intention in stone. It still catches light on the ridge, marking the edge where the land stops pretending to be ordinary.

Situated on a small level ridge overlooked by Slieve Glah. Irregularly shaped stone tapering to a point (H 1.55m; dims 1.34m x 0.55m). It contains many cupmark-type depressions which are almost certainly natural in origin. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
