Standing stone in Knocknagore

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Knocknagore held a six-foot stone leaning like a tired giant, but the ground has swallowed the marker and erased the address. O'Leary wrote it down in 1919, capturing the shape before forgetting could erase it entirely. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial or a warning, yet the earth reclaimed its purpose. Memory now stands alone where the stone disappeared.
Stone (6ft x 3ft x 11/2ft) leaning to one side (O'Leary 1919, 84). Unable to locate site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
