Menhir by Moyvoughly
The menhir of Moyvoughly stands on a small hill, near a field border, about 1.5 km west of Moyvoughly ( Irish Maigh Bhachla ), north of Moate in County Westmeath in Ireland .
The menhir ( English standing stone ) is about 2.8 m high, 1.4 m wide and 50 cm thick. Nearby there is a lying stone about 1.5 × 1.5 × 50 cm in size. Other stones that could be associated with the stone pair may be hidden by the field boundary.
