What is recorded here

Standing stone in Slieveowen stood alone in Parkeenagallaun until removal near 1977. It faced southwest across pasture, catching late light and dropping shadows that may have marked seasons, work or memory. Its absence is a wound in the landscape, but the field still remembers the shape it held.

Not shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Shown on 1904 OS 6-inch map as single stone in field named 'Parkeenagallaun'. In pasture, on SW-facing slope. According to local information, removed c. 1977. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
