What is recorded here

Urraghilmore (east) in County Cork once held one of two standing stones recorded by Bowman in 1934. The stone stood in J. O'Keeffe's field until people broke and removed it, erasing the exact spot from human memory. What remains is a ghost marker: a vertical presence so familiar it became disposable, yet its disappearance proves the field once spoke in stone.

One of two standing stones (10178) recorded by Bowman (1934, 506) in this townland; 'In J. O'Keeffe's. This was broken and removed'. 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
