Standing stone in Monalummery

Standing stone

What is recorded here

According to Power (1952, 83), there is a place called Carn a'Dreoilín - the Wren's Cairn - at Monalummery, where a standing stone stood on a cairn (WA035-018001-). Both remain unlocated. Power, Rev. P. (1952) The placenames of the Decies. (second ed.) Cork University Press. Date of upload: 6th October, 2011 Compiled by: Michael Moore
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the standing stone at Carn a'Dreoilín may have had ritual or commemorative significance, as suggested by its association with a cairn. The name "Wren's Cairn" could reflect later folklore or symbolic connections to birds in prehistoric belief systems.
