What is recorded here
Killasseragh is a standing stone in County Cork, Ireland. In 1897, it stood about five feet six inches high on a south-facing slope. People have moved it from that place into a nearby field fence. The stone is two metres long, one metre wide and sixty centimetres thick. It is no longer a marker on the horizon, but a heavy guest in the fence line.
In pasture on S-facing slope. Stone (L 2m; 1m x 0.6m) removed from original position and now lying in field fence nearby. It stood 'about five feet six inches high' in 1897 (Franklin 1897, 383).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
