What is recorded here

Standing stone in Derragh (duhallow By.) is a lost Cork marker, not a finished story. Bowman measured it at 3ft 2in by 8ft 2in girth on J. Hickey's land, yet the exact spot has slipped away. That absence makes it larger: a tall stone may have marked a boundary, a memory or a meeting place, while people moved around it and forgot to say where.

Bowman (1934, 272) recorded standing stone on J. Hickey's c. 100m E of unlocated standing stones (9854); '...3ft 2in by 8ft 2in 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
