What is recorded here

Standing stone in Garranes South, a lozenge-shaped stone aligned ENE-WSW, rises 1.1 metres through pasture on a south-facing slope in County Cork. Its shallow width and diagonal tilt suggest it may have marked a boundary, a path or a moment when people still watched the horizon.

In pasture on S-facing slope. Lozenge-shaped stone aligned ENE-WSW (H 1.1m; 1.2m x 0.7m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

Likely dating to the Bronze Age (c. 2500–500 BCE), the stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for this site.
