What is recorded here

Standing stone in Curraghard is a sub-rectangular stone in County Cork, Ireland. It stands 1.5m tall on a north-facing pasture slope, leaning slightly north with its long axis running northeast to southwest. A person walking that slope would have seen the stone before the sky, reading its tilt as a marker rather than a mistake.

In pasture on N-facing slope. Sub-rectangular stone (H 1.5m; 1.38m x 0.42m), long axis NE-SW, leaning slightly to N.
