What is recorded here

Gurteennacloona holds a standing stone moved about 210m north-east from its original place beside a rath in County Cork. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, but human hands changed its address while the land kept the shape of its purpose.

This monument constitutes the site of a standing stone; the precise location of this site is unknown except that it stood directly to the N of a rath (CO032-022----). The stone was moved subsequently to its present location (CO032-147----) c. 210m to the NNE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This standing stone likely dates to the Bronze Age and may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its original placement near a rath suggests a possible link to early settlement or ritual activity in the area.
