What is recorded here
Glenreagh is not a chamber, a cave or a vanished town. It is a standing stone, still marked in local memory, and that changes what the place asks you to see. The chamber is inside the person, not hidden behind a wall. The cave is the depth of attention the stone demands. The vanished town is the ordinary mindset that leaves before understanding begins.
Bowman (1934, 459) recorded standing stone on J. O'Sullivan's land; 'Removed, now placed near the boundary fence. 4ft 5in by 2ft 2in by 1ft 10in'. 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.
