What is recorded here

On the lower N-facing slopes of Knocknabro. A photograph taken in 1999 (pers. comm. Rhoda Cronin) shows a large upright stone in an area of rough grazing. The area has recently been drained and planted with coniferous trees and there are no visible remains of this standing stone. Its precise location could not be determined. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

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.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
