Standing stone in Foilogohig

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Foilogohig still holds one of three stones recorded by Bowman in 1934 on T. Buckley's land, measuring 2ft in by 9ft 3in girth. The exact spot has slipped from local memory, but the stone's size suggests it stood tall enough for people to gather around, mark boundaries, or leave offerings. Whatever it witnessed, Foilogohig kept it long enough for Bowman to measure before the landscape changed again.
One of three stones (9984, 9985) recorded by Bowman (1934, 447) on T. Buckley's land; '2ft in by 9ft 3in girth'. 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).
