• MO012-065 Standing stone
  Description

  Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a hill that is known as Fall Crom. The hill is thought to have been an inauguration site of a branch of Ó Mórdha of Laois (Moore) who migrated here during the seventeenth century (Moore 2014). The stone is represented only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as ‘Ancient Stone (Site of)’. It was described in 1941 (SMR file) as ‘two upright stones 3 feet high (c. 0.9m) remain in the hedge. Two or three others were removed some time ago….. The stones apparently formed a small ring.’ No stones are present now, although a lot of field stones are in the field bank just to the N.
