Standing stone in Derrygalun

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Magese and Derrygalun both claim one missing stone. The county inventory still lists two stones, but the second has vanished from the field and from every map. Bowman wrote that it stood in P. O'Callaghan's land before it was broken and removed. The hole may have been forgotten, the stone may have been reused, or the claim may have swallowed one of its own witnesses.
One of two standing stones (9959) recorded by Bowman (1934, 498) in this townland; 'In P. O'Callaghan's. This was broken and removed'. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
