Standing stone in Lissaclarig West

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Lissaclarig West is a rough rectangular column in Cork pasture, not a hidden chamber or finished monument. It stands beside a field boundary on an east-facing slope, facing the rolling land like a marker left behind when people stopped walking that line. Its plain shape and exposed position suggest it was made to be seen, remembered and perhaps judged against the sky.
In pasture, on an E-facing slope overlooking undulating countryside to the E. This standing stone (0.65m x 0.4m; H 1.6m) is roughly rectangular in plan and is orientated N-S. The stone stands beside the E side of a field boundary. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
