Standing stone

What is recorded here

Two stones. One remains, leaning north inside a forestry plantation near Drimoleague. The other vanished after 1936, perhaps taken, perhaps buried, perhaps never real at all. What is left is a hole in the shape of a witness, waiting for someone to admit the loss.
In forestry. Upright stone (H 1m; 0.69m x 0.43m) leaning to N. Other stone or stones (1936 OS 6-inch map) missing. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
