Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Crottees is a slab-like stone in County Cork, Ireland. It stands 1.35m tall on a south-facing pasture slope, leaning slightly south with a fallen slab at its base. The stone is simple, local and visible, but its purpose has not survived. It may have marked a boundary, a meeting place or a remembered event.
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. This slab-like standing stone (1.25m x 0.22m; H 1.35m) is roughly rectangular in plan and section and is orientated E-W. It leans slightly to the S. A large prostrate slab (0.7m x 0.1m; L 0.8m) lying at the base appears to partly support the standing stone. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
