What is recorded here
Mutton sheep graze around a tall, weathered stone in Ballyarra, its broad base tapering toward the sky like a forgotten doorframe. It stands beside Corrin Hill, watching the land pass through seasons while people come and go. The stone has no name, no owner, no explanation. It simply remains, patient and unbroken, marking a place where memory itself has worn smooth.
In pasture with view of Corrin Hill to NW. Heavily weathered, sub-rectangular stone (H 1.9m; 2.5m x 1.4m) narrowing towards top; long axis ENE-WSW.
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.
