What is recorded here

Four stones marked the corners of a shallow trapezium beside Fermoy, now absent from the surface. Condon measured them in 1916, from fourteen to twenty eight inches high, spaced seventeen to twenty one feet apart. The exact field has slipped from knowledge, leaving only numbers and the suspicion that people once walked inside an angle built from stone.

Condon (1916, 67) describes four standing stones in field to S of standing stone pair (CO042-057---). No visible surface trace remains. Plan (ibid.) shows stones stood to form four corners of a trapezium (c. 6.4m x c. 6.27m); 'A is 14 inches high, 8 inches thick, 12 inches broad. B is 28 inches high, 18 inches thick, 17 inches broad; 17 feet 6 inches between A and B. C is 25 inches high, 31 inches thick, 34 inches broad. 20 feet 6 inches between B and C. D is 26 inches high, 18 inches thick, 31 inches broad; 21 feet between C and D'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
