Standing stone in Fornaght

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Fornaght is an empty field now because the standing stone disappeared. A man measured it at forty-one inches tall before removal, yet no scar or story remains to mark the place where it stood. The land keeps its shape but lost the stone that gave the field a name and a point in space.
In rough grazing. Hartnett (PJH) recorded stone here '41ins x 18ins x 6ins'. Removed; no visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
