What is recorded here

Lackdotia, mushera holds a 3.1m leaning stone with a small circular depression near its base, while three destroyed boulder burials lie 60m south. The stone is incorporated into a townland boundary fence on a NW-facing slope, suggesting people still use its position even though its older purpose has faded. It may have marked a road, a burial approach or a claim of ownership, but the depression and buried stones leave more suggestion than proof.

Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps. In rough grazing, on NW-facing slope. Stone (H 3.1m; 1.3m x 0.85m) is irregular in plan, incorporated into N-S townland boundary fence. Leaning heavily to NE. Small circular depression (diam. 0.25m; D 0.12m) on W face near ground level. Three destroyed boulder burials (6501) c. 60m to S. 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

Probably dates to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age (c. 2500–500 BCE). The small circular depression may indicate a ritual or symbolic use, possibly linked to territorial markers or ceremonial activity.
