What is recorded here

On W-facing slope on E side of valley of Glen River. Bowman (1934, 535-6) recorded two standing stones '20 feet apart'; W stone was leaning - '2ft 4in by 1ft 3in'; E stone '1ft 10 by 2ft 3in by 8in'. Both stones removed c. 1960; according to local information, stones stood on site of or near recently erected farm buildings c. 800m S of Glennagurracat bridge (pers. comm. Paul Walsh). 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
