What is recorded here

Standing stone in Redbrae is a limestone slab on the eastern slope of a narrow coastal stream in County Leitrim. It stands 1.25 metres high, leans slightly south, and faces west with a crested top. Another possible stone waits thirty metres east, as if the first had called it across the grass. The sea is close enough to hear in the water, and the flat rock still catches rain like a table set for nobody.

At the crest of the E-facing slope of a S-N stream close to the sea. Limestone slab (dims 1.5m x 0.3-0.5m; H 1.25m) orientated E-W with a crested top and leaning slightly to the S. A possible standing stone (LE001-00901-) is situated c. 30m to the E.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its orientation and location suggest a possible alignment with solar or seasonal markers, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
