What is recorded here

Mushera Mountains watch Cloghboola Beg, where a half-metre stone still stands beside radial enclosure and five-stone circle. It is not a grand monument, but a small address in ancient pasture: a point marked, remembered, and left for others to read.

In reclaimed pasture, on lower slopes of Mushera Mountains. Outlying stone (H 0.5m; 1.2x x 0.7m) standing 3.5m NE of radial stone enclosure (6492). Five-stone circle (6459) and anomalous stone group (CO048-08001-) close by. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, given its association with stone enclosures and circles typical of ritual or ceremonial landscapes in this region. Its alignment or placement may have had astronomical or territorial significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
