After visiting Grania's Cave (County Tyrone) I returned to my car and was about to beat a hasty retreat (I really did feel that my presence was not welcome, possibly because they were all busy gathering silage) when the woman of the house mentioned the standing stone down the lane. I had seen it on the map, but didn't want to push my luck here, however, she gave me directions and off I set.
Like the nearby tomb this too is a "can't see it until the last minute" site. As you round the hedge from the farmyard the field drops into a basin and the stone stands in the middle.
It is a 1.4m tall mudstone pillar, with lovely embedded pebbles.
