What is recorded here

Island (fermoy By.), County Cork: A three-metre rectangular stone leans southeast on a south-facing pasture slope, its long axis pointing northeast-southwest. It is the kind of marker people might have tied to boundary, burial or prayer, yet no human name survives beside it. The tilt suggests age or surrender rather than design, as if the stone is still completing a fall begun before memory.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Stone (H 3m; 1.6m x 0.27m) is rectangular in plan and shape, leaning heavily to SE; long axis NE-SW. 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
