What is recorded here

Dallan is a fallen stone in Cork pasture, knocked flat or moved near a fence around 1978 after standing tall on James Curtin's land. It may be one of two stones Bowman measured in 1934, seven feet around and still tall enough to mark a boundary, a prayer or a warning. The field has taken back its height, leaving only a long grey shadow beside the fence where people once walked past an upright thing.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Stone is prostrate (L 1.7m; 0.4m x 0.3m), lying beside field fence to W. According to local information, removed to present position c. 1978. Possibly one of two standing stones (9999) recorded by Bowman (1934, 87) on James Curtin's land, '...21/2ft high, 7ft in girth'. 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
