What is recorded here

Fuhur’s standing stone still points east-west across a pasture terrace, watching Miskish Mountain with a narrow rectangular body barely taller than a child. Its edges have softened, but the direction remains sharp enough to suggest purpose: a marker, a boundary, or a quiet challenge set where the valley opens. Cattle may have walked past it for centuries, unchanged by its stubborn shape.

In a pasture field, near the N edge of an E-W terrace on a N-facing slope with a view across the valley to Miskish Mountain. This standing stone (0.64m x 0.57m; H 1.05m) is almost square in plan and rectangular in section. The stone is orientated ENE-WSW and narrows slightly as it rises. 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, ceremonial focus, or astronomical alignment point. No specific folklore or use is recorded for the stone in local tradition.
