Transcriber's notes

As there are no 'Various modes of spelling' or 'Authorities for spelling' or 'Situation' or tailored 'Description' details provided for the 'Standing Stone' entry on this page, I have concluded that 'Standing Stone' should be combined with the existing place name "Leacach an Tigh Chloiche".
