Class Stone row
Townland MAUGHANASILLY
SMR No. CO092-019----
Description Prominently situated on bog-covered hillock on NW slopes of Knockbreteen. Excavated in 1977 (Lynch 1981, 69-74). Row of five stones, alighed NE-SW, 5.8m in overall length. NE stone is 0.4m L, 0.25m T and 0.5m H. Next stone, 0.5m to SW, is 0.8m L, 0.3m T and 1.3m H. Third stone, 1.05m further to SW, leans to SW; it is 0.3m L, 0.45m T and 1.05m H. A fragment, 1.3m by 0.5m by 0.3m, has been split from this stone and lies beside it at NE. Fourth stone, 0.9m from the third, is 0.5m L, 0.3m T and 0.95m H. Beside this isprostrate slab, 3.5m in maximum dimension. SW stone, 0.25m from last, is 1.1m L, 0.35m T and 1.05m H. The only find recovered from the excavation was a thumb-shaped flint scraper. Charcoal from the basal peat overlying the site gave a C14 determination of 3265 ± 55 bp (GrN-9281). (Ó Nualláin 1988, 234, no. 33; Roberts 1988, Ch. 5, no. 29). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Greetings All,
Maughansilly --- five stones in a row = five days a week in both ancient Sun and Moon calendars 4270 BC to 61 AD.
Moonday the nearest and smaller, Sunday the largest, Wodensday, Thorsday and Freyrday, a straight line.
Best, Dr Neil L. Thomas, 03/01/2017
