Standing stone in Maulagallane

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Maulagallane means Hill of the Pillar Stone, yet the pillar has vanished from memory and marker alike. Burke wrote its name in 1918, but no one has pointed to it since. The hill keeps its shape while the stone retreats into rumor, daring anyone who climbs to invent what the earth forgot.
"Hill of the pillar stone" (Burke 1918, 168); unable to locate. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
