What is recorded here

This standing stone is located in bog on the lower N slopes of Coomanaspig, SE of Dromgour Point. It is not recorded on the OS maps. The stone is irregular in both elevation and basal plan, tapering as it rises. It measures .9m high, and .82m x .42m at base, tapering to a width of .36m at the top; NNW-SSE. Veins of quartz run horizontally through the stone. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 154. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
