• MA049-160 Standing stone
  Description

  In average pasture, broken by rocky outcrops, located on top of a small, low roughly oval natural rise, in the foothills of the NW-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. Immediately to E–SE the ground rises to a low N–S ridge, broken by rock outcropping and strewn with boulders, and overshadowed by the steeper mountain slopes. Extensive views SW–NW are punctuated by distant views of the summit of Croagh Patrick to SW, and the summit of Nephin to WSW. Irregular-shaped stone (H c. 1.35m; 0.8m NNE–SSW; 0.5m) set upright in the ground. To the E and SW the stone presents relatively flat, smooth faces but the W and NW faces are characterised by irregular indentations, giving the stone a multi-angled cross-section. The stone leans markedly to N. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 February 2020
