Gorey Standing Stone, Wexford


	Gorey Standing Stone I was amazed to find out about the existence of a standing stone in Gorey. I had been researching the area on archaeology.ie when I came across the site on the monuments map. The megalith is about 2 metres in height and approximately 1/2 metre wide at the base, tapering towards the top. It is a very narrow stone almost blade like in appearance and is orientated in a NE-SW direction. There are numerous standing stones remaining in County Wexford and this is amongst the finer examples.
Situated: Very easy. Located on the grounds of Gorey Community School, Esmonde Street. Access during school hours. Discovery Map 69: T 1587 5944. Last visit October 2011. Longitude: 6° 17' 12" W Latitude: 52° 40' 26" N Google Map Photos: Jim Dempsey.
