Standing stone in Dún Na Manach

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Dún Na Manach holds an irregular trapezoidal standing stone, roughly 1.3m long and 1.35m high, buried partly by a concrete tank in a working farmyard. The tank blocks its eastern sides, forcing a person to circle behind or accept a partial view. The stone remains visible enough to mark the yard, yet small enough to disappear when busy.
This irregularly-shaped standing stone is located in a farmyard about 75m to NE of KE054-079----, its ESE and ENE sides partly obscured by a concrete tank. It is very roughly trapezoidal in plan, measuring 1.3m NNE-SSW, at least .8m in width and 1.35m in height. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 97. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
