What is recorded here

Clochfadda is a two-metre rectangular standing stone in West Cork, aligned northeast to southwest within open pasture. It belongs to the ancient landscape of County Cork, where visibility and memory mattered more than written proof. The stone still faces the sky like a marker left behind by people who understood distance, direction and time.

In pasture with commanding views in every direction. Rectangular stone aligned NE-SW (H 2m; 0.94m x 0.46m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
