What is recorded here
Knockagolig held a two-foot-six-inch stone with nine feet of girth on Thomas Field's land before the exact spot vanished. Bowman measured it in 1934, capturing a shape large enough to touch but small enough to overlook. The loss is not empty; it is a reminder that visibility and importance are different, and that even a forgotten stone can still occupy the mind.
Bowman (1934, 381) recorded standing stone on Thomas Field's land; '2ft 6in high by 9ft girth'. 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.
