What is recorded here

Glanycummane Upper held a standing stone on Mr Brennan's land, though it lay recumbent and measured three feet ten inches when Bowman recorded it in 1934. The exact spot has vanished, leaving behind a ghost marker rather than a visible stone. Whatever purpose it served, the earth or ownership changed enough to bury the coordinate while preserving the shape.

Bowman (1934, 720) recorded standing stone on Mr Brennan's land; 'This is now in a recumbent position. It is 3ft 10in long'. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
