The Killycluggin Stone is a decorated stone, found near the town of Killycluggin, County Cavan, in Ireland. Roughly cone-shaped and covered in Iron Age La Tène designs,[1] it was discovered broken in several pieces, partly buried close to a Bronze Age stone circle, inside which it probably once stood.[2] The stone is now housed in the Cavan County Museum, while an imperfect replica stands near the road about 300 metres from the original site.[2][3][4]
Although now much damaged, the stone can be reconstructed from the different surviving pieces. It was at least 6 feet high.[5] At the base of the stone there were four rectangular adjoining panels measuring 90 cm each in width giving a circumference of 3 m 60 cm when it was first carved. The height of each panel was about 75 cm.
