Standing stone, Farnaght, Co. Mayo

In the townland of Farnaght in County Mayo, a standing stone occupies its patch of ground much as it has for several thousand years, largely unrecorded and undisturbed.

Standing stones, erected singly or in loose groupings across Ireland from the Neolithic through the early medieval period, served purposes that remain genuinely contested: boundary markers, astronomical alignments, burial memorials, or focal points for ritual activity. This particular example in Farnaght sits in a county unusually rich in such monuments, yet this one has so far attracted little documentation in the public record.
