What is recorded here

Ballyboneill once held two standing stones on E. Guerin's land, but human hands broke and removed them years ago. They vanished completely, denying even the memory of their exact shape or the shadow they cast at sunset. What remains is an empty field where the stones stood, forcing imagination to complete what forgetting has already erased.

One of two standing stones (9886) recorded by Bowman (1934, 577) on E. Guerin's land; 'Broken and removed many years ago'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
