Standing stone

Standing stone, pair

What is recorded here

Two tall stones still stand between Millstreet and Ballinagree, waiting for the names and reasons their makers lost. They may have marked a boundary, guided a ritual, or simply watched the fields grow. Whatever they meant, they survived every empire that forgot them.
Situated between two ridges of outcropping rock and within 1.5m of the foot of the S one are two upright stones, aligned NE-SW, standing 4.1m apart. The SE stone (1.3m x 0.25m; H 1m) stands on slightly higher ground than the NW stone (1.1m x 0.4m; H 1m). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
