Standing stone in Ardgroom Outward

Standing stone

What is recorded here

A tall, narrow stone leans north at the foot of Tooreennamna Mountain, its wide base planted in low pasture beside a river. It is not a grand monument, but a quiet marker, perhaps placed by someone who watched the water or waited for a person returning from beyond the hill. The small cairn beside it suggests the place was still tended long after the first hands stopped shaping it.
On low-lying pasture c. 40m to the E of a river, at the foot of Tooreennamna Mountain. This standing stone (1.02m x 0.16m; H 1.25m) is orientated ENE-WSW. It leans to the N and narrows from a wide base to a narrow top (Wth 0.21m). A cairn (CO102-005014-) is situated 2m to the W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
