Standing stone in Ballycaskin

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No visible standing stone remains in Ballycaskin today. Condon measured an irregular stone five feet two inches wide on a NE-facing pasture slope in 1916, but that marker has vanished or been buried. The empty grass keeps the shape of what was taken, turning a forgotten field into a small absence.
In pasture on NE-facing slope. Condon (1916, 62, no.11) records irregular stone here (H 28-36in; Wth 5ft 2in; T 8in). No visible surface trace. 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
