What is recorded here

Cinn Aird Thiar is a gentle west-facing slope beside the Owenalondrig estuary, remembered now through a lost standing stone rather than a visible marker. The place still carries the shape of human attention: a stone set among grass and tide, watched or avoided, named and forgotten. Its disappearance does not empty the field; it redirects wonder toward the people who stood there, measured distance, marked boundary or simply believed the stone was watching back.

The 'Gallaun' marked on the 1st edition of the OS map no longer survives; only its site was noted on the 2nd edition. The land slopes very gently NW towards Trabeg and the tidal estuary of the Owenalondrig river. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 154. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
