Standing stone

What is recorded here

Depicted as standing stone on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Stone removed; area under pasture. (Walsh 1985, 98, no. 7) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 23 November 2009
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its removal and lack of surviving carvings make its original use or folklore unclear.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
