Standing stone

What is recorded here

No visible chamber, no carved mark, no named owner. A tall rectangular stone stands in pasture overlooking the Coomhola River valley, aligned north to south. It is the kind of place where human thought stopped being visible but did not stop existing.
In pasture overlooking Coomhola River valley to W. Rectangular stone aligned N-S (H 0.95m; 0.72m x 0.42m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
