I nearly missed this. Sadly this is not the original Killycluggin Stone, which now resides in Ballyjamesduff Museum, but a replica. The original stone was found in the 1920's near to Killycluggin stone circle 500m or so southwest of where this replica now stands.

The full design of the original La T?©ne style carving on this stone and its exact size and shape are not known, because it had already been smashed up when it was discovered.
