What is recorded here
Killeen in Muskerry East once held a standing stone in open pasture, but the stone has vanished without a surface trace. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, or a moment when people stopped listening to the land. What is gone is not nothing; it is the kind of absence that keeps asking to be remembered.
In pasture. According to Hartnett (PJH), stone stood here. Removed; no visible surface trace.
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.
