In the SW corner of Stradbally graveyard (KE035-018002-) is a large slab, 1.75m x .85m x .15m thick, with a single cup-mark on its upper surface. This latter is .06m in diameter and .015 to .02m deep.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 168. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
