What is recorded here

One stone fell, the other still stands on a terrace above Blind stream in County Cork. The pair once aligned northeast to southwest, perhaps marking a boundary, a burial or a meeting place for people who no longer leave names behind. The fallen giant lies two and a half metres long, while its partner rises nearly two metres, thin as a doorframe. Whatever they measured has been lost, but the line between them still cuts the valley air.

On terrace on N side of valley of Blind stream, a tributary of Argideen river. NE stone lies virtually prostrate, measuring 2.85m by 1.15m and 1m T. Second stone, 5m to SW, is 1.5m L, 0.37m T and 1.85m H. Pair appear to have been aligned NE-SW.
