This one in Moohane, County Limerick, is equally remarkable for what it may no longer be. A standing stone, the kind of solitary upright slab erected across Ireland from the Bronze Age onwards as a marker, boundary point, or memorial, was carefully recorded here in the early 1940s. Today, nobody can say with certainty where it is, or whether it survives at all.

When the archaeologist O'Kelly documented the stone in 1942 and 1943, it was still visible and measurable: a slab of porphyry, a coarse-grained igneous rock often used for prehistoric monuments in the region, standing 1.07 metres high, 0.9 metres wide, and 0.3 metres thick. What made it particularly interesting was its context. It stood alongside what O'Kelly described as an ancient fence, now reduced to a slight ridge in the ground with five low boulders set at intervals along it, running east to west down the western slope of a hill before fading out at the foot. Neither the stone nor the fence appeared on the Ordnance Survey map at the time, meaning the record O'Kelly compiled was among the first formal documentation of either feature. The site was later catalogued by Grogan in 1989 under the designation Moohane 2, placing it within the county's broader inventory of prehistoric remains.

The difficulty for anyone trying to visit today is considerable. When the site was assessed against the location marked on the Limerick Record of Monuments and Places map, no surface trace of the standing stone could be found. It may have been removed at some point after the 1940s description, or the map coordinate itself may be slightly wrong. A dense spread of gorse, the prickly scrubland shrub that colonises rough ground across rural Ireland, now covers the area to the east of the marked location, making any thorough search on foot effectively impossible. It is within that obscured ground that the stone, if it still exists, may actually stand. The site is a useful reminder that the Record of Monuments and Places records what was known at the time of compilation, and the landscape does not always hold still.
