Standing Stone in Co. Westmeath
In a field to the SE of a by-road, 2.4 km N of Moate, this massive and picturesque menhir is about 2.75 metres high.
~ 4.8 km NNW in Snimnagorta (N 209475), 1.2 km S by W of Ballymore, is another ‘Cloghstuckagh’ of similar dimensions, but with two ‘steps’ on one side, which may be artificial – or, if not, the reason for selecting the stone.
