Standing stone

In pastureland just off the crest of a low ridge. Aligned N-S and 2m apart. Both stones are of granite and subrectangular in plan. The N stone is broken in two (H c. 1m); S stone (H 1.4m). There is a standing stone (GA022-099----) further downslope to SE (Ó Nualláin 1988, 197). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, the paired stones may have functioned as markers for territorial boundaries, ritual sites, or astronomical alignments. No specific folklore is recorded, though such pairs are often associated with ancestral or spiritual significance in early Irish traditions.
