What is recorded here

Standing stone in Coulagh is a fallen rectangular stone, one metre twenty long, lying in open pasture where sight reaches every horizon. It may have stood once as a marker for herds, boundaries or memory before impact or time laid it flat. The land still holds the shape of that purpose even though the stone no longer points to the sky.

In pasture with good views in every direction. Prostrate subrectangular stone (L 1.2m; 0.56m x 0.34m). (O'Brien 1970, 18). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
