This is a substantial monolith.
Approx. 2.7m high by 1m x 1.2m it is a prominent feature on the skyline but is not visible from the South where the land is higher.

Only reachable by trekking 400m across rough pasture but worth a look on route to the wedge tombs at Canrooska/ Barraboy mountain.

A solitary standing stone officially recorded as monument CO090-002----



In mountainous bogland with view over Bantry Bay to SSE. Lozenge-shaped stone aligned NNE-SSW (H 2.3m; 1.15m x 0.85m).



The above description is derived from the published ''Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork''



Note to Admin: the townland name is CROSSTERRY EAST, and not Crossferry. Might be worth an update.
