What is recorded here
Standing stone in Felane Middle is a rough rectangular slab, ninety centimetres tall and thirteen centimetres thick, leaning slightly southeast on a sun-warmed slope in County Cork. It stands in pasture rather than a chamber or cairn, presenting a flat edge to the sky like a forgotten doorjamb. A person may have set it there to mark a boundary, honour a loss or simply watch the seasons turn. The stone still performs that quiet job, unchanged while the land around it keeps moving.
In rough pasture, on SE-facing slope. Roughly rectangular slab (H 0.9m; 0.5m x 0.13m) aligned N-S, leans slightly to SE.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
