Standing stone in Cloghfune

Standing stone

What is recorded here

In a rough pasture field, on a NE-facing slope overlooking Ballydonegan Bay. A standing stone (1.1m x 0.4m; H 1.5m) orientated NE-SW was recorded at this location in May 1992. The standing stone, a field boundary and some surface stones have since been removed. There are no visible remains of the 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
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial feature, possibly linked to early farming communities in the region. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.

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.
