Standing stone in Maulikeeve

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Maulikeeve holds a standing stone in West Cork, a tall shape on a northwest-facing slope where the land tilts toward the sea. It stands eighteen decimetres high, broad enough to touch across, and aligns from northeast to southwest as if marking a line older than the pasture around it. Whether it is a glacial erratic or a chosen monument, the stone still interrupts the field like a forgotten instruction, waiting for someone to read the direction it points.
In pasture on NW-facing slope. Stone (H 1.8m; 2.25m x 1.15m); long axis NE-SW. May be an erratic (WBBS). 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
