What is recorded here

Knockmanagh holds four standing stones on R. Sheehan's land, though their exact positions have slipped from modern sight. Bowman recorded them in 1934, capturing a moment when the stones still stood recognizable among the terrain. They may have marked a boundary, a gathering place or a forgotten ritual path, their purpose buried under decades of changed land use. What remains is the certainty that stone once rose there, waiting to be seen by someone willing to look.

One of four standing stones (10075, 10076, 10077) recorded by Bowman (1934, 480) on R. Sheehan's land. 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

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, the standing stone may have been part of a ritual or territorial marker. No specific folklore or detailed use has been recorded for this stone.
