D-shaped stone (H 0.2m; 0.46m x 0.46m) with circular hollow (diam. 0.25m; D 0.13m) on upper suface. Hollow has worn through base at one side. According to Logan (1980, 103), stone was 'removed and built into a wall, but was found back at the well in the morning'. 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.
