Standing stone in Gortdonaghmore

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Gortdonaghmore holds two standing stones, yet neither has a visible mark to prove its identity. O'Sullivan named them in 1955, but the field has taken back the boundary between them. They may still be buried under grass, hidden beside a road or broken into a wall. The townland remembers more than it reveals.
One of two stones (6732) mentioned by O'Sullivan (1955, 14) in this townland. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
