What is recorded here

In the Iveragh Peninsula, a tall stone stands inside an earthwork called Cromwell's Fort. The stone is far older than the fort, which means people built a military boundary around a place already sacred or important. A leaning slab still supports its base, proving the upright once shook and someone chose to steady it rather than remove it.

In level pasture, looking W over Lee River valley, c. 30m to NNE of stone row (CO082-056----). Stone (H 1.75m; 1.6m x 0.2m) is rectangular in plan, leaning heavily to W; long axis NE-SW. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
