Standing stone in Cill Mhic An Domhnaigh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Cill Mhic An Domhnaigh is a one-metre upright on an east-facing slope beneath Mount Eagle, small enough to overlook yet distinct among the pasture boulders. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a prayer, but no human name survives to confirm which. The stone still catches dawn light on the Dingle Peninsula, waiting for someone to remember why it was set apart.
This low upright, possibly a standing stone, stands on an E facing slope near the foot of Mount Eagle, in a pasture field broken with rock outcrop and boulders. It is 1m high and 1m x .5m at base; ESE-WNW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 125. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
