What is recorded here

Archa Beg: No reliable distinction exists between Ardra Beg and Adra More, so the claim may point to either place. What is known is a standing stone, four feet tall and about a foot and a half across, set where people once walked past without explaining it. Its exact position has been lost, but the measurement remains: a tall narrow shape, tall enough to mark a boundary, a memory or a warning.

Power (1940, 105) refers to standing stone in Ardra but does not distinguish between Ardra Beg and Adra More. He records 'a dallan 4ft x 1ft6ins x 1ft 6ins'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
