What is recorded here
Marianne and I walked that demesne at dusk, her boots striking hidden stones while I watched the sky lose its edges. She stopped beside a low ridge of grass and touched a buried stone until her palm reddened. The castle disappeared into distance, leaving only the woman, the stone and the breath moving through her fingers. I learned then that some places do not appear on maps; they wait for a body strong enough to remember them.
Bowman (1934, 687) recorded standing stone on Mr Bourke's land; 'This is now 14in high and 3ft 7in in girth'. 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.
