What is recorded here

Knockrour once held a six-foot stone on a south-facing slope, but grass and forgetting have erased its shape. Condon measured its fallen body in 1916, capturing the last clear proof that the field was not empty. The disappearance does not diminish the stone; it joins the many names and markers that vanished when people stopped repeating them.

In rough pasture, on S-facing slope. Condon (1916, 156) recorded 'partially fallen stone (L 6ft; Wth 29ins, T 20ins)'. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
