The pair of standing stones once recorded at Lackendarragh in County Cork demand rather more than that. They are gone entirely, leaving no visible surface trace, and whatever purpose they once served inside their rectangular enclosure has vanished with them.

The stones appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, positioned roughly twenty metres inside the eastern perimeter of a rectangular enclosure. An OS Field Book entry, cited by Grove White between 1905 and 1925, recorded them with the kind of brisk precision that makes their absence all the more pointed: one stood about four feet high with a girth of six inches, the other about three feet high with a girth of four and a half feet. The pairing is itself of some interest. Standing stones are most often encountered alone, occasionally in small alignments, and their association here with a defined enclosure suggests a deliberate spatial arrangement, though what that arrangement meant to the people who put it together remains, as with so many such monuments, unresolved. At some point after the mid-nineteenth century, both stones were removed. The enclosure they once stood within is separately recorded, but the stones themselves left nothing behind.
