What is recorded here
One stone remains, but the place was a pair. The missing companion is not even a hole now; it has vanished completely from the field. Dallaun is a name that points at its own kind, a stone of stones, yet the second stone has left no trace for anyone to argue about. What is left is a large upright marker in flat pasture, waiting beside a burial ground for the other half of its name to return.
Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map c. 55m to N of standing stone (CO071-034002-). OS Name Books (1841) describe two stones '10 links apart and 5ft by 9ft in circumference'. Removed; no visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
