Standing stone in Gneeves (duhallow By., Kilmeen Par.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No stone remains in Gneeves, but two shadows once stood fifteen feet apart beside the ringfort. One broke to a foot-high stump, the other rose two feet three inches with an eleven-foot-three-inch girth. They may have marked a doorway, a warning or a memory, yet even that much has faded from the soil.
Bowman (1934, 517) recorded two standing stones c. 6m S of ringfort (12534); 'these are 15ft apart. (a) was broken, remaining part 1ft high, by 6ft 3in girth. (b) 2ft 3in by 11ft 3in girth'. No surface trace of stones to S of ringfort. 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
