Standing stone in Glengoura Upper

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No visible surface trace remains in the forestry below the crest of Glengoura Upper, yet the standing stone still holds its north-facing slope like a forgotten sentinel. The earth may have swallowed the stone or men may have dragged it into the soil, but the shape of the place still points to a marker lost beneath roots and time.
In forestry, below crest of hill, on N-facing slope. No visible surface trace. 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
