A solitary standing stone, officially recorded as monument number CO135-128---

Located in the townland of Lackenagobidane.

In pasture on SE-facing slope overlooking causeway to Inchidoney Island. Described by Jack Roberts (1988, ch. 1) as 'Clogh-Cinn - the stone of the headland'; drawing shows upright stone with two kidney-shaped perforations and three semi-circular notches. The stone is now broken. The lower portion (H 0.7m; 0.65m x 0.08m) remains embedded; long axis almost E-W. A fragment of the upper portion (L 0.92m; 0.68m x 0.07m) lies 1.8m to N; remains of two perforations were noted on this; several lines and letters have been inscribed on it including the abbreviation RIP.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

On my visit in August 2021 I could not find the broken fragment mentioned in the description above. Access is through a very large and busy farm but the owners were happy to grant access.

The current location on MP map is slightly incorrect; correct co-ordinates for this site are 51.607837, -8.894402.
