Lankill Standing Stone

Lankill Standing Stone is a solitary megalithic monument located in a quiet field in the Mayo countryside, a short drive from Westport. This upright stone, likely erected during the Bronze Age, stands about 2.5 meters tall and is a fine example of Ireland's prehistoric standing stones. The site is unmarked and uncommercialized, offering a raw, authentic encounter with ancient history. Visitors can approach the stone, feel its weathered surface, and imagine the rituals or territorial markers it may have represented. The surrounding landscape of rolling green fields and stone walls adds to the timeless atmosphere. It's a perfect stop for those seeking off-the-beaten-path archaeology.
