What is recorded here

Standing stone is a standing stone (pair) in Tanrego East OR Carrowmore, County Sligo, Ireland. The surviving boulder stands 1.8m high on a south-east facing slope below the ridge top, tapering to a roughly triangular shape with a small natural hole on its south face. Local information says a second stone once stood with it but field clearance removed and buried it. A rath lies about 80m to the north-west, while Knocknarae rises to the north and the Ox Mountains mark the southern skyline.

In pasture, located on a SE-facing slope, just below the top of the ridge. Knocknarae is visible to N, and the Ox Mountains define the skyline to S. A large upright boulder (H 1.8m; Wth c. 1.2m; T. c. 0.8m) tapering at top to give a roughly triangular shape. Roughly in the middle of the S face is a small circular hole (diam. 0.04m; D 0.02m) which appears to be a natural feature. According to local information this stone was one of a pair. A second standing stone was removed and buried during field clearance works. There is a rath (SL019-139) located c. 80m to NW. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 May 2011
