All the wall being on Gortgarra Ano Dom 1674." Boundary stones were a practical technology of the pre-survey era, physically anchoring the edges of townlands and private holdings before paper maps could be trusted to do that work. What makes this one quietly remarkable is its specificity: it names two townlands, asserts ownership of the very wall in which it presumably once sat, and gives a precise year, 1674.

A second stone, recorded roughly thirty metres to the south-west in the front wall of an adjoining house, has been plastered over entirely, leaving only this one visible. Together they would have marked a boundary line through what is now a suburban stretch of road east of Cork city. The antiquarian John Windele, writing in 1849, adds an earlier layer to the area's history: he noted that between the Blackrock and Bohereenmanagh roads there had once been a place of public recreation, and that coins of Elizabeth I along with local copper tokens had occasionally been found on the site, a detail preserved in Lee's 1931 account. The Elizabethan coins suggest activity there from at least the late sixteenth century, predating the boundary stone by several decades.

The stone is on private property and not accessible to the public, which means its inscription quietly persists in a domestic outbuilding, the sort of place where a seventeenth-century legal declaration about walls and townlands sits alongside garden tools and accumulated household objects. The plastered-over companion stone in the neighbouring wall is invisible now, its text sealed behind render, though the landowner at the time of recording was aware of its presence.
