If the stone stood upright, the longer axis would point towards the tomb on top of Church mountain to the south-east AND the stone circle to the north-west.

Athgreany standing stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

ryaner Jul 20, 2014

The long axis of the standing stone, almost NW-SE, points NW directly at the stone circle below. South-east is the peak of Church mountain with its cairn, though this is not visible from here. There is a handy stone placed at the base of the standing stone, probably used as a comfortable viewing seat with the narrow axis of the stone as a backrest, to look down on the stone circle. The stone now leans to the north-east. It’s over a metre tall.
