Standing stone in Ardgroom Outward

Standing stone

What is recorded here

One chamber in Ardgroom Outward still stands beside two burnt mounds, its stone leaning slightly as if listening across centuries. People may have gathered there to mark loss, celebrate birth or argue the shape of heaven. The mountain gives no answer, but it keeps the place alive.
In rough hill pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. This standing stone (1.79m x 0.64m; H 1.13m) is orientated NNE-SSW. The upper portion of the stone slopes down to the NNE. Two burnt mounds (CO102-041007-, CO102-041013-) are c. 50m to the NW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
