What is recorded here

Standing stone (present location) in Cashel More stands in the grounds of Cashelmore House after leaving a trivallate ringfort, preserving a sub-rectangular quartz shape about 1.12m tall. It may have marked a doorway, a boundary or a remembered person, yet no clear human event survives beside it. The stone still occupies Cashel More, waiting for that lost purpose to return.

Stone originally located within trivallate ringfort (CO109-06101-); now standing in grounds of Cashelmore House. Sub-rectangular quartz stone (H 1.12m; 0.85m x 0.47m). (Ó Ríordáin 1932, 1). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Likely dating to the Early Christian or Iron Age period, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its relocation from a ringfort context suggests possible reuse or repositioning in later times, though original meaning or folklore is not recorded.
