Standing stone in Derreengreanagh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Derreengreanagh holds two upright stones in open pasture, one standing 1.9 metres tall and the other lying 30 metres to the southwest. The taller stone has a rectangular shape, aligned northeast to southwest on a gentle north-facing slope. It is the kind of place where people may have marked territory, remembered an event, or simply watched the sky turn above the grass.
In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. Upright stone (H 1.9m; 1.08m x 0.82m) rectangular in plan; long axis NE-SW. Second upright stone (CO118-038---) lies c. 30m to SW. 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
