What is recorded here

Annakisha North holds a fallen standing stone, a 1.65m slab now buried in flat pasture. Local memory claims it once defied gravity, pointing toward the sky before time or storm laid it bare. The grass may hide a broken wrist rather than a finished bed, preserving the exact moment it stopped resisting the earth.

In flat pasture. Prostrate slab 1.65m x 0.4m x 0.32m. Local information records that this is fallen standing stone (pers. comm. Paul Walsh). 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

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this prostrate slab may originally have functioned as a standing stone, possibly with ritual or territorial significance. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.
