What is recorded here

Indicated is a missing standing stone in County Cork, recorded only in an old inventory and absent from the pasture where it should stand. The land may have swallowed the stone, erased it, or never held it at all, turning a solid marker into a ghost in the data. What is certain is the gap: a place named, described, and forgotten before anyone could see it.

In pasture. No visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for Garraneboy.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
