What is recorded here

Standing stone in Monavaddra is a 1.19m subrectangular stone with a pointed top, aligned NW-SE on a north-facing slope in County Cork. It still stands in rough grazing, unchanged since people first read its shape and direction. Anyone who walks past may have seen the same quiet marker, not a forgotten myth but a visible fact.

In rough grazing, on N-facing slope. Stone (H 1.19m; 0.85m x 0.6m) is subrectangular in plan, narrowing to pointed top; long axis NW-SE. 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
