Cronk Ashen Standing Stone, Ballalona

Archaeology

The site of a Bronze Age standing stone. It is a granite stone, 2.3 metres high, on a hillock called Cronk Ashen where an urn was found in the past. The stone is situated at the southern end of a natural ridge orientated northeast to southwest. The stone has a pronounced lean to the northeast and has irregular sides averaging 0.8 metres by 0.5 metres.  It tapers towards the base. It is weathered and is used as a rubbing post. 


There is no trace of any other stone or an associated mound. This stone was listed by Megaw as being at Ballachrink, Kirk Santon, with a footnote stating 'Mr W. Cubbon brought me to this site. It has the appearance of a very much ruined burial chamber.'
