What is recorded here

Dún Na Manach, County Kerry: a standing stone on a SE-facing slope below Pookauncorrin wedge-tomb. It stands 1.6m high, with a 1.2m by 0.6m base aligned north-south. Someone set it where it could be seen from the valley and still answer the hill above. Maybe it marked a boundary, a burial, a warning or a promise. In any case, it is still doing that job: holding a line of sight between people, land and time.

A standing stone situated on a SE facing slope on the lower slopes of the hill crowned by Pookauncorrin wedge-tomb (KE054-045----). It measures 1.6m in height and 1.2m x .6m at base; N-S. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 95. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
