- LI032-074: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI032-074----. Standing stone described in 1943 as following; ''The standing stone is of porphyry and is 3' 6" [1.07m] high, 3' [0.9m] wide and 1' [0.3m] thick. It stands beside an ancient fence, which shows as a slight ridge on which are five low boulders set at intervals along it. The fence runs east to west down the west slope of a hill, at the foot or which it fades out. Neither the stone nor the fence are marked on the O.S. map' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 182). Listed by Grogan (1989, 271) as 'Moohane 2'. No surface remains visible of standing stone at location marked on Limerick RMP map, the standing stone has either been removed or the location of the stone on the RMP map is incorrect. The area to the E of the location of the standing stone is now covered in gorse bushes and examination of this area is impossible. It is possible that the standing stone may have been located in this area rather then the current location marked on the RMP map.

It occupies the highest point of a hill which is intersected by many ancient fences' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 182-3). Present remains consist of a stone (H 1.3m; 0.32m x 0.69m) with rounded top which is rectangular in plan with long axis N-S. Stone setting around base of mound may be related to the trig. station at this location by the Ordnance Survey. Listed by Grogan (1989, 271) as 'Moohane 1'. Low linear earthworks of a relict field system are visible in field to N of standing stone. Compiled and revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 2 March 2022

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
