These items have not been classified as standing stones as far as I'm aware, but I saw at least 5 examples around Moytirra East (County Sligo), so I am convinced that they are a man-made feature of some sort.

These consist of two huge boulders, one lying down and one set standing up. The upright ones are all at least 3m tall and 1.5m wide. When I am next in this area I will sepnd some time inestigating these properly.
