The National Monuments Service's description
One of two unlocated standing stones (10007), c. 18m apart, recorded by Bowman (1934, 116) in this townland; 'In M. O'Keeffe's, - incorporated in fence, 3ft high, 3ft 10in wide'. Field in which stone stood was known as 'Pairca tooma', and it was said locally that it marked the site of a grave. Bowman (ibid.) did not see any sign of burial there.
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.
