Standing stone in Knocknacurragh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Knocknacurragh holds three standing stones, though no exact point on the ground remains certain. Bowman named them in 1934, pulling them out of ordinary countryside and into human memory. They may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning. That uncertainty does not weaken them; it keeps them alive.
One of three standing stones (10079, 10081) recorded by Bowman (1934, 500) in this townland. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
