What is recorded here
Nine centimetres short of a metre, the stone stands on a gentle slope above Dingle Harbour, its long axis pointing east-southeast as if measuring the distance to water. Rough pasture swallows its base, yet the view remains wide enough for anyone climbing Lateevemore to see why the stone was set where it was. A larger companion waits one hundred and fifty metres east, suggesting two markers rather than one forgotten thing.
Situated in rough pasture on a gentle ESE facing slope of Lateevemore, commanding an extensive view, particularly SE towards Dingle Harbour.
9.5m to N of KE043-123---- is a possible standing stone (KE043-123001-) .7m high and .75m wide, its long axis aligned ESE-WNW. About 150m to E is a 2nd larger standing stone (KE043-124----).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 251. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
