What is recorded here

Freahanes holds a rectangular standing stone aligned east-west above four fallen stones and a hidden megalithic structure. It is not a lonely marker but the visible edge of a larger stone arrangement, perhaps a tomb, boundary or ritual place whose full shape has been lost. The field still carries the shape of that older choice.

In pasture on S-facing slope. Rectangular stone (H 1m; 1.25m x 0.65m) aligned E-W. A further four stones lie on ground immediately to N; megalithic structure (CO134-102---) lies c. 30m to SW. 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 upload/revision: 14 January 2009
