What is recorded here

Standing stone in Rusheen (muskerry East By.) stands 1.7m tall on a south-facing pasture slope beside a levelled circular enclosure in County Cork. Its pointed top leans south while its long axis stretches east to west, marking the enclosure’s edge like a finger pressing through grass. Whatever it measured or warned, it still points.
In pasture, on S-facing slope, standing on SE periphery of levelled circular enclosure (CO060-126---). Stone (H 1.7m; 1.7m x 0.3m) is subrectangular in plan, coming to point at top and leaning to S; long axis E-W. 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
