Skahard

Standing Stone / Menhir

bawn79 Apr 8, 2009

I noticed this possible standing stone while trying to find a short-cut into Limerick during the snow back in March.
Not 100% that it is a standing stone but it is a big hunk of rock that is standing. Not too much of this kind of thing in what is prime farm land.
It is about 1.75m high and is behind an old and newly built house.
There are electrical lines running over it and I wonder is the damage to it something to do with that because it seems pretty recent.
