What is recorded here
Knocknadarriv holds a large sandstone block now buried horizontally inside a field fence, yet memory places it upright nine metres south. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial or a warning before people stopped asking it questions. What is certain is that Knocknadarriv still keeps the shape of the place where the stone stood, even if the stone itself has been reduced to fence material.
Standing stone described in 1987 by the 'Castleisland District Archaeological Survey' as a 'large blocklike sandstone [dims. 2.2m x 0.65m x 0.65m] is [now] lying horizontally forming the upper portion of a field fence. The landowner recalled the standing stone standing upright 20-30 feet [6 - 9m] to the south of its present location' (SMR File).
