Ballingoola Standing Stones View all content for Ballingoola

There are 5 standing stones clearly shown on the OS map to the norht of Lough Gur. They are two far apart to be called a stone row I thing and may be more of an avenue. Eogan in the North Munster Project suggests they may be leading towards a ford on the river camoge or may be a territorial marker between two different areas. The stones arent particulary dramatic all smaller than 0.5m high. The fourth stone is missing and talking to a local guy he told me there was a deal made over its removal. The North Munster Project shows a few more stones to the south of this that arent on the OS map and I will try and investigate these also. I think they may be a route from the ceremonial Lough Gur to the defensive hill-fort at Knockroe.
