Standing stone in Clashaganniv

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Clashaganniv is a gentle south-facing slope in County Cork where a standing stone may have stood before it vanished from memory and grass alike. Local information still points to the pasture as if the stone could reappear when someone stops walking and listens. What is certain is only the tilt of the land, the openness of the sky, and the absence where a marker once belonged.
In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. According to local information, a possible standing stone was located here. There is now no visible trace of this possible standing stone at this location. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
