What is recorded here

Caherkeen holds a triangular standing stone, ninety-eight centimetres tall, aligned northwest to southeast on an east-facing slope. It is not a grand monument, but a small sharp marker in rough grazing, perhaps guiding a boundary, a memory or a dead person across generations. The triangle still points like a knife through the fields, waiting for someone to remember what it marked.

In rough grazing on E-facing slope. Triangular stone aligned NW-SE (H 0.98m; 0.55m x 0.4m). (O'Brien 1970, 18). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
