Standing stone in Rodeen

Standing stone

What is recorded here

That is the only available description of the requested standing stone.
In rough hill pasture, in a level area of cutaway bog. This standing stone (0.95m x 0.12m; H 1.25m) is rectangular in plan and is orientated NNE-SSW. The stone leans to the SE and the upper half of it narrows to a rounded top. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had a ritual or territorial function. Its orientation and location in a former bog suggest possible links to early land use or ceremonial activity.

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