What is recorded here

Nine metres west of a fallen two-metre stone, a vertical marker still stands in Cashelisky pasture. It faces north, south and east, watching the land like a sentry that forgot how to leave. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, honour a dead person or simply watch the horizon. The stone never asked permission to remain visible.

In pasture with commanding views to N, S and E. Stone (L 2m; 0.9m x 0.5m) lying on ground. Standing stone (CO122-066001-) located 9.5m to W. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.
