Clontead More (Irish: Cluain Téide Mhór)[1] is a townland in the civil parish of Magourney and historical barony of Muskerry East in County Cork, Ireland.[1][2] The townland, which is approximately 1.3 square kilometres (0.5 sq mi) in area,[2] had a population of 75 people as of the 2011 census.[3] Overlapping with the nearby village of Coachford, it adjoins the townlands of Clontead Beg to the south and Carrignamuck to the east.[2]

Built heritage

There is a standing stone in the townland, approximately 0.46 km (0.29 mi) north of Coachford. An Irish Tourist Association survey of 1944 describes it as a 'dolmen' on a farm, 0.5 miles from the village. Consisting of a single boulder of c. 3 ton in weight and lying flat in the corner of a field, it was alleged to have been thrown by the giant Mushera from his lair on Mushera Mountain. The 'marks of his fingers' were said to be still visible.[4] In the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork (1997), it is described as being on a south facing slope, in pasture, sub-rectangular in plan, with a height of 1.12m and long axis NE-SW.[5]

Also within the townland is Clontead More House, a mid-19th century house which is included in the Record of Protected Structures for County Cork.[6][7]
