S from Loskeran Standing Stone, Waterford, Ireland. Loskeran Standing Stone is south of both Dungarvan and Helvick Head. The stone is a wide slab and its long axis indicates directions beyond the lunar limits.

Probably not quite intervisible with Ballynamona Court Tomb, 1.35km away although the axis of the slab is perpendicular to the potential line of sight. Views to the south are completely obscured by a garden hedge but would be lower ground and a sea horizon. It remains unsurveyed.

SW from Loskeran Standing Stone, Waterford, Ireland. From the south-south-west right round to the north the skyline is fairly local and featureless.

NE from Loskeran Standing Stone, Waterford, Ireland. North and north-east offer a bit more variation and axis of the stone is towards a nearby hill.

Hilltop Standing Stone WA036-013 at Lagnagoushee would be visible to the north-west if not for the forestry but beyond the lunar limit (32.1° calculated).

SE from Loskeran Standing Stone, Waterford, Ireland. The axial hill runs down fairly smoothly to lower ground and a sea horizon.
