What is recorded here
Six stones stood together in Laght, close enough to touch across a hundred yards, yet no one remembers which is which or where the circle begins. Bowman counted them in 1934, but the land has swallowed the markers since. They may have guided herds, marked a grave, or simply resisted forgetting. Whatever they did, they did it without permission and without explanation.
One of six standing stones (10088, 10089, 10090, 10091, 10092) recorded by Bowman (1934, 359) in this townland, all situated within a diameter of 'about 350yards'. 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.
