What is recorded here

Standing stone in Baile An Mhuilinn (corca Dhuibhne) is a 2.85m tall stone tilting slightly north, with a 1.1m x .7m base, set about 250m SSW of Gallán na Cille Brice in County Kerry, Ireland. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, because people often set tall stones where they wanted memory to gather. Rain, foot traffic and time have worn it into a quiet landmark, yet its size and tilt still suggest human intention.

About 250m SSW of Gallán na Cille Brice, this stone, tilting slightly N, stands 2.85m high and measures 1.1m x .7m at base; E-W. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 132. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
