Standing stone in Lisnaboy Upper

Standing stone

What is recorded here

One of three standing stones in Lisnaboy Upper, recorded by Bowman in 1934, still holds its shape on land once belonging to T. O'Sullivan. The stone measures 2ft 10in by c. 14ft girth, large enough to mark a boundary, a meeting place or a warning. Its exact position has slipped from memory, but the stone itself remains a witness to human life in North Cork.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
