Boulder-burial in Urhin — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

One hundred metres from the southern shore of Coulagh Bay, a flat boulder still balances above three hidden stones in cut-away bog. The chamber may have swallowed a body, sealed a treasure or marked a boundary, yet no named victim or owner survives. Urhin keeps its secret inside stone and water, waiting for someone brave enough to stop guessing and remember.

In cut-away bog c. 100m from shore on S side of Coulagh Bay. Flat-topped boulder (1.4m x 1.1m; T 0.6m) resting above three support stones. Standing stone (CO114-04602-) 1.7m to S. 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
