Standing stone in Cill Fhiontain

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Cill Fhiontain holds a 3.7m stone, narrow as a door and set in marshy land half a kilometre from the Milltown river. It still stands where water and soil have taken everything else, perhaps marking a crossing, a warning or a name forgotten by time.
A standing stone situated in low-lying, marshy land c. 500m W of the Milltown river. It is 3.7m high, 1.59m wide at base narrowing gradually to c. 1m at top, and .45m thick on average; ENE-WSW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 117. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
