What is recorded here

Three stones stood on T. O'Sullivan's land in Lisnaboy Upper when Bowman measured them in 1934. The largest rose thirty-four inches high and circled nearly ten feet, a heavy wooden shape waiting to be judged. People may have tied horses there, marked a boundary or simply watched rain run down its skin. That much is still possible even though the exact spot has faded from memory.

One of 3 standing stones (10100, 10101) recorded by Bowman (1934, 264) on T. O'Sullivan's land, '...3ft 2in by 9ft 6in girth'. 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 Bronze Age, the standing stone in Lisnaboy Upper may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial monument. No specific folklore or detailed use has been recorded for this particular stone.
