Standing stone

What is recorded here

On a shelf of level pasture 30m above a NE-SW stream/drain. This irregularly shaped limestone block (H 1.3m; Wth 1.2m; T 0.1-0.39m) is aligned NE-SW and tapers to a point. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 16 January 2013
Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly aligned with seasonal or astronomical events given its NE-SW orientation. No specific folklore or use is recorded for this site.
