Standing stone in Drom North

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No trace of the standing stone remains in Drom North. The land has been reclaimed, the slope flattened, and even the gate posts have vanished. Whatever marker once stood at the bottom of that north-facing pasture has been erased completely. Forgetting has done what hammer and men could not.
Two gate posts, one of which could have been a standing stone. In pasture, at bottom N-facing slope. Land recently reclaimed. No trace of stone. (O'Brien 1970, 16). 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 revision: 14 December 2009
