Standing stone

Why this matters

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to the nearby fulacht fiadh. Its removal has obscured any potential folklore or specific use.

What is recorded here

Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps. Marked as single standing stone c. 20m SE of fulacht fiadh (CO049-016001-) on 1940 OS 6-inch map. Removed; no visible surface trace. 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
