Stone, associated with St Gobnait, shown only on 1842 OS 6-inch map c. 350m SW of Codrum Ho. Unlocated; no local information about it. Appears to be in roughly same location as inscribed stone (CO070-123----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
St Gobnait is a 7th-century Irish saint associated with beekeeping and healing, particularly for ailments of the eyes and fertility. The stone's association with her may reflect local traditions of pilgrimage or prayer for these specific cures.
