What is recorded here

Standing stone in Glenreagh (duhallow By.) is a four-foot-tall stone that someone moved from its original hole and set beside a fence on J. O'Sullivan's land. It still stands in County Cork, but its exact place has been forgotten. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial or a prayer before it became fence decoration. Its new position is known, yet its older purpose has faded like a footprint washed clean by rain.

Bowman (1934, 459) recorded standing stone on J. O'Sullivan's land; 'Removed and placed near fence, 4ft 10in by 2ft 10in by 1ft 4in'. 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
