Standing stone in Coollicka

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Coollicka held one white rib of stone on a southwest slope, visible in 1939 but erased before measurement. It stood in pasture, not on a road or a map, waiting for someone to notice the shape it kept. That disappearance is not a loss of fact but a reminder that clarity requires witness.
Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps. Marked on 1939 OS 6-inch map as single standing stone. In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Removed; no visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
