Boulder-burial in Clonglaskan stands in County Cork as a second stone, measuring 2.2m x 1.3m, lying just 3.5m east of its named neighbour. The closeness suggests two people, two events or one ceremony split across a narrow gap. The land may have held more than a single life when the stones were set.

This possible boulder-burial is referred to in the 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork - vol. 1 West Cork' (1992, 33) under the entry (no. 134) for another nearby boulder-burial (CO114-040001-). The reference in the entry to this possible boulder-burial reads: 'Second boulder (2.2m x 1.3m) (CO114-040003-) lies 3.5m to E. (Ó Nualláin 1988, 236, no. 45)' The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
