What is recorded here
Monavarnoge holds a subrectangular standing stone, 1.2m tall, aligned ENE-WSW inside an earthwork. Its flat, deliberate shape suggests human placement rather than natural collapse. The stone may have marked a boundary, a memorial or a gathering point, though no name or date remains attached. It still stands where the earthwork encloses it, waiting for someone to remember why it was set.
In earthwork (CO055-022002-). Subrectangular stone (H 1.2m; 0.7m x 0.45m), long axis ENE-WSW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
