Standing stone in Baile An Ásaigh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Two metres of pale rock stand in open grass, one broad at the base and tapering to a point, the other shorter and wider. They are not aligned to mark a road or a field edge. They are positioned to be seen from a distance, perhaps guiding a person home or warning a stranger that this place belongs to memory. The stone does not speak, but it repeats itself in the shape of a finger pointing upward.
Approximately 130m SE of KE043-172---- is another low standing stone measuring 1.18m in height and .75m in width at base, tapering to a point at top; NE-SW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 73. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
