What is recorded here

Standing stone in Seafield (imokilly By.) is a possible standing stone in County Cork, Ireland. It stands on a SW-facing slope inside an irregular field, pointing NE-SW like a finger laid across the land. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, a memory or a warning, yet no clear human story has survived to confirm that purpose.

In the SW area of an irregularly shaped field, on a SW-facing slope. A possible standing stone (Wth c. 0.3m; H c. 0.9m) was noted in this field where archaeological test excavation took place in 2003 prior to a proposed development. The possible standing stone is described as being roughly square in section and is orientated NE-SW. Subsequent topsoil stripping around the recorded location of the possible standing stone in 2004 revealed no identifiable archaeological features. Two subcircular features (CO067-092----) were identified and subsequently excavated within the proposed development area.
