Ballinvally

Standing Stone / Menhir

ryaner Dec 29, 2020

There are 10 standing stones listed in the SMR in Ballinvally townland. Seven of them are north of here, further distant from the Loughcrew hills. This one is just north of a small stream that runs south-west/northeast through the valley floor at the bottom of Carnbane East. It, and the other stones north of here, could be said to be part of the wider Loughcrew Complex. It’s about a metre-and-a-half tall and about 200 metres south-west of Ballinvally stone circle.
