Standing stone in Lios Deargáin

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Red air in Lios Deargáin still touches the edge of that stone. A woman may have pressed her palm to it during storm, not in fear but in recognition. The stone leaned south afterward, perhaps simply listening. What it heard has not been lost, only translated into sway.
About 200m W of KE043-206---- is a roughly rectangular and much weathered stone which measures 1.36m wide, .65m thick and 1.88m high; E-W. It now leans slightly to S. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 130. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
