Standing stone in Daingean Na Saileach

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Daingean Na Saileach holds a 1.3m standing stone on the northeast edge of a levelled enclosure. Its irregular shape and northeast-southwest axis suggest human placement rather than natural collapse. The stone may have marked a boundary, remembered an event, or guided people through the landscape.
On NE side of levelled enclosure (9190). Stone (H 1.3m; 0.56m x 0.23m) is irregular in plan, long axis NE-SW. 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
