What is recorded here
Half a metre of stone pokes through the bog like a broken promise, tilted slightly east on the slope above Bealnagour. The surrounding pasture is rough and wet, the kind of place where people stopped asking questions and listened instead. The stone does not demand worship, but it does demand patience. Anyone who stands beside it long enough begins to understand that visibility is not the same as comprehension.
In rough peaty hill pasture, on a SE-facing rocky slope to the NW of Bealnagour. This standing stone (0.5m x 0.05m; H 0.6m) is rectangular in plan and section and is orientated ENE-WSW. The stone protrudes above the surface of deep bog.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
