What is recorded here

Two tall stones still stand between Millstreet and Ballinagree, waiting for the name of the hand that lifted them. They are not a temple or a boundary in any book, but the completed act of two people carrying weight across soft Cork ground. That much is certain. The rest belongs to imagination, and imagination is not empty there; it is the shape of the missing person.

A standing stone (H 1.08m; 0.8m x 0.4m; long axis ENE-WSW) in the SE quadrant of a large enclosure (CO102-030001-). A prostrate stone (L 1.6m; 0.5m x 0.2m) lies 1.2m to ENE. 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
