Punchestown Longstone

The stone stands about six meters high and has a pronounced lean towards the west. Thought to date to about 2450–1900 BC, it is the tallest standing stone in the southwest of Ireland. The stone is made of local granite and is estimated to weigh over 9 tonnes. It is located in a field just off the Craddockstown road, about 3.5 km (2 mi) southeast of Naas, and about 600 m north of Punchestown Racecourse in County Kildare (Irish: Contae Chill Dara).
