What is recorded here

Not marked on the 1841 or 1906 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Irregular green stone flag (H c. 1.2m, Wth c. 43-0.63m, T c. 0.4m-0.11m) orientated N-S. Another stone (H c. 1.1m, Wth c. 0.22-0.55m) immediately to SW, may have broken off the standing stone. This does not appear to be a standing stone, it is the wrong shape and size and form more like something that was erected in the nineteenth century. This could be the standing stone referred to in H. Roe's unpublished report.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LA031-027
