Bowman (1934, 14) recorded 'Dallan' on J. Tarrant's land; 'Local folklore tells the story of a man who stole a calf near this well when passing by the Church [CO032-16002-], St Cranathan was waiting for him. The Saint ordered the calf to be returned. The man refused, and was turned into stone by the saint. This stone stood as silent evidence of the veracity of the story until some years ago when a hole was dug at the base and the dallan buried there.' Exact location not known.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
