What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture, on a steep W-facing slope. According to local information, a hollow containing water was visible in the upper surface of a rectangular quartz stone (12in [0.3m] x 28in [0.71m] x 28in [0.71m]) which was situated on top of a mound in this location. The water is locally reputed to cure warts. Following extensive field clearance in this area, there was no visible trace of this possible bullaun stone when the location was inspected in 2000. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
