Standing stone

What is recorded here

Conlon found it standing in 1916 on a south-east facing slope in Ballincrokig. The stone has fallen since then and now lies prostrate in pasture, measuring 2.3 metres long. It lost its vertical presence somewhere between those dates, leaving behind a flat shadow instead of a marker reaching toward the sky.
On pasture on SE-facing slope. Prostrate stone (L 2.3m; 0.53m x 0.25m) fallen since described by Conlon (1916, 74). (Walsh 1984, 114) 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
