Standing stone

Standing stone, pair

What is recorded here

A pair of standing stones set .95m apart in a NNW-SSE line, on the lowlying and somewhat marshy pastureland along the S side of Smerwick Harbour. The taller SE stone is 1.9m high, 1.1m wide and a maximum of .3m thick. A large packing stone is exposed at the base. The NW stone is 1.6m high and .9m x .4m at base. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 66. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
