Standing stone in Inchantotane

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Inchantotane holds a three-foot-nine-inch standing stone on John Shine's land, recorded by Bowman in 1934 but lost to exact memory. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial or a warning, yet even its position has slipped from human knowledge. What remains is a tall shadow in North Cork, waiting for someone to remember why it stood.
Bowman (1934, 114) recorded standing stone '...3ft 9in high' on John Shine's land. 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

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