A small upright stone once stood on a south-west-facing slope in the townland of Moneycusker in mid Cork, the kind of modest prehistoric marker that survives in the landscape largely by going unnoticed. This one did not survive.

What little is known about it points to a place already slipping from the record before anyone thought to look closely. The stone does not appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, which is itself telling; by that point, the Victorian mapping project was thorough enough that features of far less significance were being recorded across the county. Whether the stone was already obscured by vegetation, dismissed as unremarkable, or simply missed is unclear. It was, according to local information, a small upright stone, set into pasture on that south-westerly incline. Sometime around the 1940s, it was removed. No record survives of by whom, or why, though the mid-twentieth century was a period when such stones frequently came out of fields as agricultural improvement gathered pace and old features were seen as obstacles rather than antiquities.
