What is recorded here

Condon recorded two standing stones in Glannaharee East in 1916, but only one remains today. The survivor stands 1.4 metres tall in sloping pasture, aligned west-northwest to east-southeast on the north side of the river valley. The missing partner measured 0.92 metres high and disappeared before the archaeological inventory reached print. Whatever the second stone marked or resisted, the first still holds its line against the valley while the second has vanished entirely.

In sloping pasture, on N side of Glannaharee River valley. Condon (1916, 147, no. 131) records two standing stones, 1.17m apart. Single stone remains, aligned WNW-ESE (H 1.4m; 1.25m x 0.25m). Second stone was 0.92m H x 0.85m x 0.28m. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a ritual or territorial marker. Its alignment and former companion suggest possible ceremonial or astronomical significance, though local folklore is not recorded.
