What is recorded here

Standing stone in Rathruane Beg is a sub-rectangular stone aligned NNE-SSW on a south-facing pasture slope in County Cork. It stands 1.34m tall with a base of 1m by 0.73m, small enough to touch but tall enough to mark a line across the field. Cattle may have walked past it for centuries, treating the stone as an ordinary boundary of the pasture rather than a monument.
