Standing stone in Fearann Dealúigh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Mortons has broken the old chamber into a private chamber, but the chamber is not a chamber. It is a chamber in the sense that a knife is a wound: something has cut through the boundary and is still cutting. The chamber has no wall, no owner and no consent. It has a shape, a duration and a victim. The chamber is the difference between the body and the world. The chamber is the distance the chamber travels before it can be known.
A standing stone located immediately SW of the E summit of a low, steep-sided ridge much broken with rock outcrop and loose scree. It is 1.2m high, 1.32m wide and a maximum of .48m thick; NNW-SSE. A small portion of the SE side has become detached. A low upright, .45m high and .52m x .12m at base, is set at right angles to the standing stone abutting the SE end of its SW face. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 103. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
