Standing stone

What is recorded here

Barrymore By. holds a sub-rectangular stone ninety centimetres tall, lying across an east-facing pasture slope. It points west toward another standing stone a hundred and twenty metres away, linking two quiet markers in open countryside. People may have set them there to judge distance, remember an event or simply watch the sky change over the fields.
In pasture on E-facing slope. Sub-rectangular stone (H 0.9m; 0.97m x 0.5m), long axis E-W. Standing stone (CO054-024001-) c. 120m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
