What is recorded here

Two stones stand 1.2m apart on a small terrace beneath Tooth mountain, aligned NE-SW like a doorway left open for wind or memory. The SW stone rises 1.2m, the NE stone 1.1m, and a fallen boulder rests beside them as if it had sat down after walking too far. Whoever placed them faced the mountain’s shadow and left a measure behind: small enough to touch, large enough to remember.

On small terrace on NW-facing lower slopes of Tooth mountain. Stones, aligned NE-SW stand 1.2m apart. Overall length is 3m. NE stone is 0.7m L, 0.4m T and 1.1m H. SW stone is 0.8m L, 0.6m T and 1.2m H. Boulder (1m x 0.95m x c. 0.4m T) lies 0.6m N of SW stone. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
