What is recorded here

Derrymihin East stands ten feet tall on a south-facing slope, its rectangular body aligned west-northwest to east-southeast. It is not a monument to pride but a marker of patience, waiting for the tide of years to turn and reveal what it guards. The stone does not ask to be remembered; it asks to be witnessed.

In pasture on S-facing slope. Rectangular in plan, aligned WNW-ESE (H 1.08m; 0.52m x 0.33m). (O'Shea and Crowley 1972, 88). 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
