What is recorded here

Three limestone uprights break the undulating ground of Wardhouse, County Leitrim. The central stone stands 1.1m tall while a second leans against it like a exhausted traveller resting its head. A third upright waits 48m to the north-northwest, far enough to feel forgotten but close enough to belong. One flint scraper surfaced nearby during testing, hinting that hands once shaped or touched this quiet alignment before the grass swallowed the memory.

There are three limestone uprights in an undulating landscape. The central one (LE001-013----) (dims 1.8m x 0.3m; H 1.1m) is upright with a similar stone (LE001-013001-) (H 1m; L 1.7m; T. 0.5m) leaning against it. There is a natural boulder to the N and a third upright (H 1.05m) c. 48m to the NNW. Archaeological testing (01E0995) c. 55m to the NE recovered one flint scraper as a stray find (Quinn 2003a).
