Standing stone in Garranabraher

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Garranabraher holds a rectangular standing stone, 1.1 metres tall, tilted NNW-SSE on a north-facing slope now buried under tillage. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial, or a warning, but its purpose has faded into the soil. It still stands because someone set it there, and the earth has not yet swallowed that choice.
In tillage, on N-facing slope. Rectangular stone (H 1.1m; 0.75m x 0.35m) long axis NNW-SSE. See Excavations 2003, 58, no. 257 Fairhill, standing stone site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
