What is recorded here

Four metres of fallen stone lies broken in Cooradarrigan pasture, beside ancient boulder burials. Local memory calls it a mass rock, suggesting worship continued where death already occupied the earth. The contradiction is not an error; it is the shape of the place.

In pasture. Fallen stone (L 4.13m; 0.5m x 0.38m); to SW of boulder burials (CO139-037001-, CO139-037002-). Locally said to be "mass rock". (pers. comm. Dr. W. O'Brien). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
