What is recorded here

One of two giant stones once stood on a north-facing slope in Ballineadig. The field swallowed the first and took the second, leaving no mark behind. What remains is a hollow shape in the land, wide enough to fit a giant's anger and small enough to hide it from everyone who walks past.

In tillage, on commanding N-facing slope. Removed; no visible surface trace. According to local information, one of two stones (CO072-133----) thrown here by a giant. 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
