What is recorded here

One chamber holds breath, the other releases it. Both belong to the same living system. A pair of standing stones in west Cork still marks that rhythm beside an older stone a short distance east.

In pasture, atop low hill. Both stones incorporated in field fence. Erect stone at W is 1m L, 0.8m T and 2.25m H. Prostrate stone 2.3m to E measures 2.7m x 1.1m. Standing stone (CO133-059002-) 150m to E. (O Nualláin 1988, 253, no. 179) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the pair of stones may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly marking a boundary or serving as a focal point for local ceremonies. Their incorporation into a field fence suggests later reuse, while the proximity to another standing stone hints at a wider prehistoric landscape.
