Standing stone in Baile An Mhathamhnaigh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

The standing stone vanished from a south-east slope above Trabeg about forty years ago. It is gone now, but the slope still faces the sea and keeps the shape of the loss.
The 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps was destroyed about 40 years ago (local informaton). It stood on a SE facing slope overlooking Trabeg. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 139. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
