Part 2: Chapter 15: Kilnasoolagh Parish: Kilkieran Townland
| Site A: STANDING STONE | |
| 6” O.S. Sheet number : | 42 (Co. Clare) |
| Reference : | 25.8 cm North; 45.1 cm West |
| Height : | c. 40’ O.D. |
| Shape : | rectangular |
Description of site:
Here we have the site of a standing stone which is not marked
in on the relevant O.S. sheets. The smoothness of the edges show that cattle
use it as a scratching post and this may be the reason why it was erected.
This, of course, is a problem one faces with all such type features. The
standing stone itself is 1.75 metres high, by a width of c. ½ metre
on each of its four sides. It is facing roughly north-south by east-west.
