What is recorded here

Standing stone in Curraghcloonabro East is a compact, rectangular stone, 1.06 m tall and aligned northwest to southeast on a north-facing pasture slope in County Cork. Its small size and sharp edges suggest deliberate placement rather than casual rockfall, yet no human name or date remains attached to it. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a path or a warning, but the absence of explanation leaves it holding more mystery than measurement.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Stone (H 1.06m; 0.21m x 0.12m) is rectangular in plan, long axis NW-SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
