What is recorded here
Knockacullin holds an irregular standing stone aligned northeast to southwest, rising 1.8 metres within a possible enclosure. It is the kind of place where people may have marked ownership, prayed for rain or simply watched the light move across west Cork. The stone does not need a heroic story, but it keeps a human one alive because someone stood before it and chose to remember.
Within possible enclosure (CO115-03901-). Irregular stone aligned NE-SW (H 1.8m; 0.9m x 0.7m). (O'Brien 1970, 15).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
