GREAT CONNELL STANDING STONE COUNTY KILDARE |
This fine standing stone is located on the summit of a low hill in undulating countryside. It measures 1.9m in height, 0.36m in width, 0.26m in depth and is now aligned NE - SW. Near the top of the south and north faces is the beginning of a rectangular socket, similar to the standing stone at Crehelp, Co. Wicklow. Recently it was moved but later replaced after the landowner suffered a fatal accident, so may not be in its original alignment. |
