What is recorded here

Indicated is a 1.9m rectangular standing stone in County Cork, Ireland, leaning NE-SW across a west-facing pasture slope. It is the kind of place where a lost boundary, a dead person or a forgotten warning may still stand because somebody once thought the stone needed to be seen. The pasture softens its edges, but the stone keeps its line, marking the difference between land being used and land being remembered.

In pasture on W-facing slope. Rectangular stone (H 1.9m; 0.6m x 0.32m), long axis NE-SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
