- MA020-002 Stone row
Description
In an expanse of bog, now covered by forestry plantation, located c. 15m SSW of a court tomb (MA020-001----). Two of the stones forming this row were recorded by de Valéra and Ó Nualláin (1964, 36) as follows: ‘Some 21.50 m. roughly SSW of the tomb [MA020-001----] two standing stones protrude above the surface of the bog. They are aligned roughly N-S and are set 1.10 m. apart. The more northerly is .50 m. high, .75 m. long and 30 m. thick. The second is 1.10 m. high, 1.00 m. long and .70 m. thick. Though a small hollow surrounds them they appear to be set at a considerably higher level than the orthostats of the tomb and cannot be taken as connected with it. Immediately south of them, towards the road, a depression in the bog seems to be due to quarrying, perhaps for gravel.’ (pers. comm. A. O Raw) In Novenber 2012 two further stones were noted immediately to S of the two uprights recorded by de Valera and Ó Nualláin. The two additional stones are low, barely protruding above the ground cover of moss and pine needle detritus. They appear deeply embedded in the underlying peat, and are close to and on the same N–S alignment as the two larger stones. The four stones appear to form a stone row (Total L 5.85m) graded in height, with the tallest stone at S. The tallest stone (H 1m; 1m N-S; 0.55-0.6m E–W) is an upright stone with a pointed top and an angular, roughly lozenge-shaped cross-section. It is set 0.94m from the second stone (H 0.65m; 0.7m N–S; 0.35-0.4m E–W) which is an upright stone with a flat E face and a curving W side giving it a roughly D-shaped cross-section. The second stone is 0.4m from the third stone (H 0.2m; 0.88m N–S; 0.37m) which is a low stone, roughly D-shaped in cross-section with the flat side facing W. The fourth stone (H 0.15-0.2m; 0.4m N–S; c. 0.65m E–W), 1.3m N of the third, is engulfed in peat and barely protrudes from the ground surface. Its long axis appears to be perpendicular to that of the other three stones but it may be part of the row.

- MA021-044 Megalithic tomb - court tomb

- MA021-095 Standing stone
Description
In an expanse of forest-covered bogland, 5m to E of a forest track, just below the summit of a gradual ESE-facing slope. The surrounding terrain is now entirely obscured by trees but originally the location would have offered a broad vista defined on the skyline to E by the Ox Mountains, and to S by Nephin and the Nephin Beg range. There is a court tomb (MA021-044----) located c. 200m to ESE and another court tomb (MA020-001----) and a stone row (MA020-002----) c. 800m to SW. This standing stone was first noted by de Valéra and Ó Nualláin (1964, 37). They recorded that, when looking westward from the court tomb (MA021-044----), ‘the ground rises for about 400 yards to the head of the valley where a conspicuous standing stone, about 1.75m high, overlooks the site.’ However, following extensive afforestation of the area, the stone’s location was lost. In 2012 it was rediscovered (Pers. comm. Alan O’Raw). It consists of an upright block (H 1.75m; Wth 0.8m; T 0.4m) of banded granite, with long axis aligned NNE–SSW. The stone narrows towards the top to form an asymmetrical triangular peak, with the apex at S. A narrow seam of quartzite creates a raised white scar crossing the top of the stone and extending down the north-west face and part of the NE face. There is a step fracture (L 0.35m, D 0.04m) on the south-east face, 0.3m from the base. The stone leans gently to SE. A low, roughly rectangular red sandstone block (0.4m by 0.3m; H 0.1m) is located 0.35m to SE of the standing stone. This does not appears be deeply embedded in the ground and its proximity to the standing stone may be fortuitous. Immediately to SE, a section (max dim. c. 12m) of the natural slope has been quarried out. Approximately 6m to ENE of the stone there is a level surface spread or concentration (c. 3-4m E–W; c. 10-12m N–S) of loose stones, its exact extent and nature obscured by forest debris.
