Standing stone in Meennaraheeny

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Meennaraheeny holds three standing stones on Mrs O'Connell's land, one measuring 2ft 8in x 1ft 4in x 1ft 10in. Bowman recorded them in 1934, but their exact location has been lost. They may have marked a boundary, a burial or a gathering place, yet no clear purpose remains. The stones themselves are gone from knowledge, leaving only a small rectangular shadow in the earth.
One of three standing stones (10115, 10117) recorded by Bowman (1934, 82) on Mrs O'Connell's land; '(b) 2ft 8in x 1ft 4in x 1ft 10in'. Exact location not known. Bowman (ibid.) also recorded two adjacent stones (9866) on Mrs O'Connell's land. 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
