Driving back from Cabragh (County Cork) I spotted this one. I had looked for it in the other direction, but had missed it.

This stone marks the highest point of where the road crosses the hill, but not the highest point of the hill, which is 300m east.

It is around 2m tall and very, very nicely shaped. As with most sites in Cork it has fantastic views too.
