Standing stone in Kilpatrick (muskerry West By.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Kilpatrick stands as an irregular stone on an east-facing slope, its long axis pointing northwest to southeast. It rises just over a metre from the pasture, small enough to overlook yet distinct enough to mark the land. People may have gathered there to watch the sun clear the horizon or to leave a promise behind the rock. The stone remains patient while the grass and memories change around it.
In pasture, on E-facing slope. Stone (H 1.1m; 0.44m x 0.4m) is irregular in plan, long axis NW-SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
