Stone row in Knockanaffrin

Situated at the W end of field system (WA006-055004-), at the crest of a S-facing slope overlooking the E-W Nier river which is c. 800m to the S. A miniature stone row (L 3.45m) is aligned N-S and composed of three stones. The S stone is rectangular (dims. 0.45m x 0.35m; H 0.6m), the central stone is subcircular (dims. 0.3m x 0.25m; H 0.53m), and the N stone is rectangular (dims. 0.5m x 0.2m; H 0.45m). The distances between the stones from the S are 1.45m and 0.7m. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 27 October 2010

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stone row in Knockanaffrin may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligned with solar or lunar events. Such small stone arrangements are often associated with broader landscape features and may reflect early land division or symbolic markers in the local terrain.
