Standing stone in Knockeenadallane (duhallow By., Kilmeen Par.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Knockeenadallane held three standing stones on M. Nunan's farm, but only one survived the breaking and removal of the others. The survivor stands one foot high with a girth of ten feet three inches, a stubby shoulder of the original seven-foot stone. What the lost stones marked, whether boundary, burial or warning, has gone with them. The remaining stub still occupies the field, waiting for someone to remember why the others were taken.
Bowman (1934, 259) recorded standing stone in M. Nunan's farm; 'This was originally over 7 ft high, part was broken off, the remaining portion is c. 1ft high by 10ft 3in girth. It is said that two dallans (in addition to above) were in Mr Nunan's but were broken and removed'. 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
