What is recorded here

Nadanuller More holds one buried stone above a forgotten row, witness to the dead who first claimed the valley. Bowman measured two markers in 1934; time has taken one back. The survivor still points its chisel edge toward the sky, holding the shape of the hand that set it. What the pasture swallowed, the stone refuses to release.
In pasture, on break in NE-facing slope overlooking Glen River. According to Bowman (1934, 248), 'residents say that a burial ground was formerly [on this site]. He (ibid.) noted two stones 'c. 1ft 6ins by 9ins by 5ins...7ft 3ins apart; orientation E and W'. One stone survives (H 1.45m; 0.33m x 0.12m); narrow, well shaped, coming to point on top, long axis NW-SE. Low ledge of stones surrounds base (H 0.14m; 0.65m x 0.45m). Otherwise no visible surface trace of burial ground. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
