Standing stone in Knockbrack (duhallow By.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Knockbrack holds a four-foot stone with an eight-foot girth, waiting at the foot of a hill rather than clinging to its summit. Bowman measured it on D. McCarthy's farm in 1934, capturing its size before the exact spot slipped from human memory. The numbers are clear; the address has become a ghost.
Bowman (1934, 365) recorded standing stone on D. McCarthy's farm; 'This is situated at the foot of the hill, and is 4ft 3in high by 8ft 7in in 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
