Fenagh : Standing Stone
Visit Notes
Sunday, 13th October 2002
Although this stone is right by the roadside, it is hidden behind a barn and so is not easy to spot. It was moved here from about 300m to the south when some quarrying was undertaken.
It is over 2m tall and around 80cm wide. It is made of the same stone that the portal tomb nearby is made of (see Fenagh Beg (County Leitrim)) and is of similar proportions to the portal stones of that tomb.

About Coordinates Displayed
|
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide. Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate. Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies. The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out. UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system. ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps. |
