Standing stone (present location)

What is recorded here

Berehaven's water light probably drew people to that NE-facing slope, yet the stone now lies prostrate thirty metres from its original stand. It may have marked a boundary, a meeting place or a warning about the harbour below. The house garden has claimed it, but the stone still points toward the sea and the lost position on the land.
In the garden of a house beside the road, on a NE-facing slope with views over Berehaven Harbour. This stone (L c. 1.4m; c. 1.1m x c. 0.45m) lies prostrate on the S side of the garden. According to local information, this was a standing stone which originally stood c. 30m to the NE (CO128-054----) but the precise location is unknown. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
