Standing stone in Carrigane (condons and Clongibbon By.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Carrigane holds a rectangular standing stone nearly one metre tall, its flat head and north-south axis marking a forgotten line across flat Cork pasture. It still stands without visible packing stones, suggesting human hands set it deliberately rather than chaos leaving it behind. People may have measured distance, honored a dead person or simply marked ownership there before written records arrived. The stone remains clear enough to read and strange enough to remember.
In flat pasture. Rectangular shaped flat-headed stone (H 0.97m; 0.22m x 0.62m) is rectangular in plan, long axis N-S. No packing-stones visible. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien based on details provided by Billy O'Brien and James O'Brien Date of upload: 5 April 2022
