Standing stone

What is recorded here

Kilmore By. and Orery still frame the Ballyclogh stone, a rectangular pillar standing one metre tall in level pasture. Its long axis points east-west, cutting across the grass like a quiet arrow thrown into time. People may have watched storms, marked borders, or simply remembered that some places must keep shape even when every other detail fades.
In level pasture. Stone (H 1m; 0.24m x 0.17m) is rectangular in plan, long axis E-W. 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
