Standing stone in Dromavally (corkaguiny By.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Clear water and sharp stone mark the edge of Dromavally. The dataset leaves the purpose empty, but the shape is not vague: a tall ridge, not a distant smudge. People may have watched weather, measured distance or marked a boundary there.
Situated on level pastureland immediately S of the village at Dromavally, this stone stands 2.1m high and measures 1.54m x .6m at base; E-W. The sides taper only slightly, but the W side exhibits a marked shoulder before rising to the pointed top a little E of centre. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 98. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
