What is recorded here
Knockardsharriv held a five-foot standing stone on Mrs. O'Donoghue's pasture until removal around 1981. Bowman measured its seven-foot girth in 1934, proving the site once rose visibly above the gentle south-facing slope. The loss suggests human hands, not decay, changed the place.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Stone (H c. 0.3m) removed c. 1981 may be stump of stone '...5ft 2in by 7ft 1in girth' recorded by Bowman (1934, 50) on Mrs. O'Donoghue's land.
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.
