This standing stone in Co. Down has recently had a huge flagpole and tree planted right next to it. More on our page. Not good.
This standing stone is about 1.5m high 90cm wide and 60cm thick. It was excavated in 1953 when the total height was found to be about 1.8m. It inclines slightly towards the north. Scattered loose around the south-east angle of the stone were cremated bones of one adult. No grave goods were found.
