What is recorded here
An invisible stone may still stand in Dromore, hidden beneath grass or buried by men who never knew what they moved. The dimensions survive in a file, but the stone itself has vanished from human sight. Perhaps it waits for someone to stop measuring and start listening.
A possible standing stone (36" [0.91m] x 53" [1.35m] x 30" [0.76m]) was recorded at this location in the 1990s (SMR file). It was described as being rectangular in plan and orientated N-S. A subsequent search of the area failed to locate the possible standing following extensive field clearance.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
