Standing stone in Gneeves (duhallow By., Kilshannig Par.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Laharan Mountain still drops north into that forgotten valley, and the stone may still stand where Condon measured it. A man climbed the slope in 1916, laid a rule against the rock, and wrote down thirty-two inches of local memory. The valley has swallowed the exact spot since then.
Condon (1916, 147, no. 132) noted standing stone '32inches high, 16inches wide, and 6 inches thick' in this townland, on N slope of Laharan Mountain. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
