Standing stone in Lisnaboy Upper

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standish stone is one of three standing stones on T. O'Sullivan's land in Lisnaboy Upper, recorded by Bowman in 1934 as 2ft 7in by 9ft 10in girth. The exact spot has slipped from local memory, but the measurements remain sharp enough to picture: a tall narrow pillar, heavy at the base, rising like a forgotten marker beside a field or road. People may have passed it for generations without naming it, reading it as ordinary stone until surveying gave it back a shape.
One of three standing stones (10099, 10100) recorded by Bowman (1934, 264) on T. O'Sullivan's land, '...2ft 7in by 9ft 10in 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
