What is recorded here

That is the story of the standing stone in Coolbane East (magunihy By., Killoglin Par.). A tall stone stands beside a children's burial ground in Coolbane East. People moved it from the west side to the east side during the 1970s or 1980s. The stone still marks the place, but it no longer blocks the view of the buried children.

In pasture, c. 40m E of a children's burial ground (KE057-066----). A prostrate stone (dims. 0.35m x 0.2m; L 1.35m). According to local information, the stone which was formerly upright and situated c. 15m to the W of the burial ground was moved to its present location in the 1970s/80s.

Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or commemorative significance, possibly linked to the nearby children's burial ground. Local tradition may associate it with protective or ancestral functions, though specific folklore is not recorded.
