This one is remarkable for what does not. A standing stone once occupied a spot on the south-eastern edge of a ringfort in Kilboultragh, County Cork, and today there is nothing left of it at all, not even a depression in the ground or a displaced lump of stone in a field boundary. It has been removed entirely, leaving no visible surface trace.

What makes the site quietly puzzling is the narrow window of its recorded existence. The stone does not appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of 1842 or 1903, but by 1940 it had been noted and marked on a revised edition of the same mapping series, positioned just outside the ringfort, the kind of enclosed farmstead defined by an earthen or stone bank that was a common feature of early medieval Irish settlement. Whether the stone was always there and simply overlooked by earlier surveyors, or whether it was moved into that position at some point between the surveys, is impossible to say now. Either way, the 1940 map represents the only cartographic moment in which it existed as a recorded feature, and at some point after that it was gone.
