What is recorded here

Knockmoylemore still holds a flat shouldered stone above the Garfinny and Owenalondrig valleys, watching water leave for Trabeg. It is little over a metre and a half high, yet it occupies the ridge like a marker set beside a busy road. Perhaps people once gathered there to point across the valley, name a boundary or remember an event now lost. The stone does not need a legend to be significant; it stands where sight, distance and time still meet.

This standing stone, on the S slopes of Knockmoylemore, commands a panoramic view over the broad valley through which the Garfinny, Owenalondrig and several smaller rivers flow towards Trabeg. Irregular in plan, the stone stands 1.58m high and measures a maximum of 1.05m wide x .45m thick. It tapers slightly towards the flat shouldered top; N-S. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 82. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013

This standing stone likely dates to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, based on its form and context. It may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial focus, or astronomical alignment point, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
