Standing stone in An Baile Íochtarach (par. Cill Dromann)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

An Baile Íochtarach in Cill Dromann holds a low standing stone on the ENE slopes of Lateevemore, overlooking Dingle Harbour and the Milltown river valley. It rises one metre, with a base of 1.2 metres by 0.6 metres, aligned ENE-WSW. The stone is absent from OS maps, yet it remains a marked feature in the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. People may have set it there to judge weather, claim a boundary or watch the harbour, but no clear human event is preserved.
Not noted on the OS maps, this low standing stone is located on the ENE slopes of Lateevemore, overlooking Dingle Harbour and the valley of the Milltown river. It is 1m high and measures 1.2m x .6m at base; ENE-WSW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.
