What is recorded here

There is a vague tradition that this site is a burial ground but the present remains cannot be classified from a surface inspection alone. A very roughly semi-circular area, 30m N-S x 10m E-W, is defined along the straight W side by the bank of the Finglas river and on the E side by a few boulders, which appear to be naturally positioned, and 8 upright stones which, along with a large boulder to N, form an almost straight line measuring c. 12.5m NNW-SSE. The stones are alternatively tall and short and range in height from 1.35 to .65m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 902. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
