What is recorded here
Rathcannon is a standing stone in County Limerick, Ireland, set in pasture beside an old ringfort. It is the kind of place where people may have marked love, loss, boundary or prayer before writing existed. The stone still stands while human memory thins, keeping its shape against rain, grass and forgetting.
In pasture 175m W of ringfort (LI039-026---). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Outline of standing stone visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
