Standing stone in Waterford City

On a slight terrace of a severe NE-facing slope which runs down to the River Suir. An upright stone of red sandstone with quartz inclusions. The standing stone (H 1.33m) is polygonal in plan (N face Wth 0.55m; E face Wth 0.38m; S face Wth 0.38m; W face 0.54m) and narrows somewhat as it rises to form a roughly triangular shape (S face Wth 0.59m; N-S T 0.4m). The SE angle has split 0.36m above ground level to form a fifth face. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 March 2014

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age (c. 2500–800 BCE), this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its placement on a prominent slope overlooking the River Suir suggests a possible alignment with landscape features or celestial events, though specific folklore or use remains undocumented.
