What is recorded here

Knockysheehan holds a rectangular standing stone leaning slightly southwest on a sun-warmed slope, facing Torc Mountain across open pasture. A smaller packing stone beside it suggests people did not leave it to chance, though no human name or date has survived to explain why. The stone still points toward the mountain like a forgotten invitation, waiting for someone to remember what it was asking them to see.

In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views SSW to Torc Mountain. The stone (dims. 0.85m x 0.4m; H 1.05m) is roughly rectangular in plan, leans slightly to the SW and is orientated NNE-SSW. A packing-stone is evident at the ENE side. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its orientation and position on a south-facing slope could reflect astronomical or landscape alignment practices.
