Standing stone in Coronea

In pasture, on a N-facing slope overlooking the estuary of the River Ilen. This standing stone (1.2m x 0.4m; H 0.7m), rectangular in plan and triangular in section, is orientated NE-SW. The stone leans to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

Dated to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial focus, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore is recorded, but its orientation and location suggest a possible ritual or symbolic connection to the river and landscape.
