What is recorded here

In pasture, c. 50m NW of ringfort (8573). Stone (H 1.6m; 1.0m x 0.6m) is rectangular in plan, long axis N-S. A number of scorings, apparently artificial, noted on its upper surface. These were thought to be ogham inscriptions by Brash (1879, 152) but were rejected by Macalister (1945, 121), although he did not see them himself. Hartnett (1939, 122) and Brash (ibid.) also noted 'several cup-marks on its eastern face'. Cup-marked stone (CO072-146---) c. 5.5m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO072-066
