Anomalous stone group in Crinnaloo North

Anomalous stone group

What is recorded here

Two stones, one leaning east, sit in a shallow circle beside a wedge tomb, marking a boundary or memory now lost. They are not grand, but they are deliberate: set, spaced, and still standing where grazing has worn the land smooth. Crinnaloo North keeps its age in small acts like this, inviting you to wonder what person placed them and what they wanted remembered.
In rough grazing, on gentle SE-facing slope and c. 7.8m NW of wedge-tomb(6399). Upright stone (H 1m; Wth 0.65m; T 0.4m) leaning towards E, long axis N-S; second stone (H 0.3m) 1.5m to E. Both stones stand inroughly circular shallow depression. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
