What is recorded here

Cahergarriff is a standing stone in County Cork. The sub-rectangular stone stands on a north-facing slope in a field called Pairc a gallan. It is about 1.15 metres tall and narrows towards the top. A standing stone marks a place where people watched, prayed or remembered before written records. The field name and stone shape suggest the area was not empty or forgotten.

In rough grazing on N-facing slope. Sub-rectangular stone (H 1.15m x 0.25m) narrowing towards top. Field known as 'Pairc a gallán'. Removed c. 1940 and incorporated into field fence, two fields to E.
