Standing stone in Ballyboneill

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Ballyboneill once held two standing stones on E. Guerin's land, but human hands broke and removed them decades ago. They vanished completely, leaving no exact trace behind. Whatever they marked or meant is gone, erased by the same ordinary progress that keeps changing the face of Cork.
One of two standing stones (9887) recorded by Bowman (1934, 577) on E. Guerin's land; 'Broken and removed many years ago'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

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