Standing stone

What is recorded here

Caherduggan South holds a 1.3m standing stone, almost square and leaning east across level pasture. Its tapered top and east-west axis suggest deliberate placement rather than accidental bedrock. People may have marked territory, honored ancestors or simply watched storms pass by its steady shadow.
In level pasture. Stone (H 1.3m; 0.55m x 0.5m) is almost square in plan, leaning to E and tapering towards top, 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
