Standing stone in Lackendarragh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Lackendarragh holds an eight-foot stone marked on E. Linehan's land, preserved only through Bowman's 1934 measurement and a compass mistake that may have placed it west rather than north of the ringfort. The exact spot has vanished, leaving behind a rectangular ghost large enough to touch in memory but impossible to find.
Bowman (1934, 549) recorded standing stone '...2ft 1in by 8ft 3ins girth' on E. Linehan's land '220yds. N. [sic] of Fort (c)' (probably 12711). Exact location not known. May be to W of ringfort as Bowman appears to have confused compass points for direction of sites in relation to each other. 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
