Standing stone in Meenagloghrane

Standing stone

What is recorded here

M. O'Sullivan's land in Meenagloghrane still holds one of two stones recorded by Bowman in 1934. The first rises seven feet one inch, broad enough at its base to swallow three feet of shadow. People may have set it beside a road, a burial or a boundary, yet that much has slipped away. What remains is a tall marble of human intention, waiting for someone curious enough to ask it again.
One of two stones (10108) recorded by Bowman (1934, 259) on M. O'Sullivan's land, '... 3ft 3in by 7ft 1in'. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
