Standing stone in Redbrae

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Thirty-two metres west of a familiar stone, a second shape waits in the grass. The first is a limestone slab, 1.2m high and 0.6m wide, its pointed top facing east-west beside a narrow stream that runs toward the sea. The second is only a possibility, yet possibility is where memory begins. One is known, one is doubted, and together they turn a small valley into a room where absence has shape.
In the valley of a S-N stream close to the sea. Limestone slab (dims 0.6m x 0.2m; H 1.2m) with a pointed top oriented E-W. A possible standing stone (LE001-00902-) is situated 32m to W. (Holly 1976, 136, No. 4, A) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
