What is recorded here

No visible marker remains at Toberlyan. The large irregular boulder once lay recumbent on the drumlin ridge, but human hands moved it into a quarry eighty metres away. The standing stone lost its identity the moment it became quarry stock. What stood there was not a shape but a promise that the place would remember itself. Forgetting broke the promise.

Formerly sited on the SE slope of a drumlin ridge. Original location of a large irregular boulder said to have been in a recumbent position (local information) and when last visited was lying in a quarry c. 80m to NW. 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
