What is recorded here

Seven gallans form a broken ring on the Dingle Peninsula, with two larger stones standing aside like watchful giants. They may have marked a humble dwelling or a sheep-fold rather than a sacred circle, yet the arrangement still suggests human hands shaping the landscape. The exact spot has vanished from memory, leaving only the shape of the stones to hint at the life that once moved within them.

'A circle of 7 galláns with 2 larger ones standing side by side a little away' (CKFC 1945, 634). Not located, but probably the remains of a hut site or sheep-fold rather than a stone circle. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 1424. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 May 2013
