What is recorded here

On the lower slopes of Reenconnell, about 30m W of an impressive ringfort (KE042-069----) and 150m W of the 'Saint's Road' (KE034-112001-), is a stone standing 1.53m high and measuring c. 0.52m in width and only .11 to .17m in thickness, its long axis orientated 10 degrees E of N. An unusual feature is the provision, c. 0.3m below the top on each side, of a notch, 7 to 9 cms long and c. 5 cms deep. These give the impression of a rudimentary cross and it is with reservation that this is included as a standing stone. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 88. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
