What is recorded here

Coulagh keeps a subrectangular stone aligned northwest to southeast, standing eighty-nine centimetres tall in open pasture where sight reaches every horizon. That is a long distance for thought to travel, and the stone sits midway between the watcher and whatever is being watched.

In pasture with good views in every direction. Subrectangular stone aligned NW-SE (H 0.89m; 1.46m x 0.51m). (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
