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).
