Stone row in Beenalaght

On SE-facing gentle slope. Row of four stones in line recorded here by Condon (1916, 145, no. 124). First stone was 0.9m L, 0.22m T and 1.7m H; second stone was 0.75m L, 0.25m T and 1.63m H; third stone was 0.9m L, 0.25m T and 1.52m H; fourth stone was prostrate and measured 0.38m by 0.35m by 1.65m. Condon records 'two or three other stones lying near and partly covered'. Exact location of possible row is unknown; site is now under forest; stone row (9834) in same townland. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). 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 stone row may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligning with seasonal or astronomical events. Such arrangements are often associated with early farming communities and landscape marking.
