Standing stone in Dún Na Manach

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Dún Na Manach holds two upright stones: a tall sister, 1.82m high, and a smaller brother, 0.4m high, set half a metre to the north. They face southeast and northwest like a threshold marked in granite. Perhaps people once measured shadow, tide or distance from them; perhaps they simply watched the Atlantic change colour.
Situated c. 225m W of KE054-081----, this stone stands 1.82m high and is 1m wide at base; SW-NE. A smaller stone, .4m high and .8m wide, is set upright in the ground about .5m to N. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 96. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
