A standing stone that formerly occupied a north-facing pasture slope in Kilmoney, overlooking the Owenboy river valley and its estuary in County Cork, was removed around 1965 by the landowner. Where it once stood, there is now simply a field.

Standing stones are among the most enigmatic survivals in the Irish landscape, raised during the Bronze Age or earlier for purposes that remain genuinely unclear, whether as boundary markers, ritual focal points, or memorials. They are common enough across Cork that their presence tends to be taken for granted, which may partly explain how this one disappeared with so little ceremony. The site was recorded by O'Leary as early as 1919, suggesting the stone was known to local antiquarians for decades before its removal. That gap between recognition and loss is not unusual in the mid-twentieth century, a period when agricultural modernisation frequently brought machinery and old stones into conflict, with the stones coming off worse.
