What is recorded here

Standing stone in Moyne (tirawley By.) still leans west inside the northeast quadrant of a rath, its broad face sloping upward like a blade drawn from earth. Cattle wore a shallow groove around its base, proving that even ancient stones must share themselves with living things. The small protruding stones at its foot resemble markers left behind when the field changed hands from memory to forgetting.

In the NE quadrant of a rath (MA022-022001-). Upright slab (0.67m; 0.32m; H 1.95m) with long axis oriented NNW–SSE. The stone leans slightly to W. It narrows slightly both in width and thickness towards the top, and when viewing the broad face, the top of the stone slopes up obliquely to a point. A slight depression encircles the base of the stone caused by cattle using the stone as a rubbing post. A few small stones protrude from this depression.

Probably dating to the Early Christian or Bronze Age period, this standing stone may have had a ritual or commemorative function, possibly linked to the nearby rath. Its orientation and placement suggest it could be associated with burial practices or territorial markers, though specific folklore or symbolic meaning is not recorded.
