Standing stone in Na Ráithíneacha (corca Dhuibhne)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Na Ráithíneacha (corca Dhuibhne) is in County Kerry, Ireland. The 'Gallaun' stood eight feet high and three feet thick before falling about forty years ago. It vanished from the landscape, leaving behind a absent marker rather than a visible stone.
The 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps fell about 40 years ago (Sheehy 1979, 42) and is no longer visible. Curran describes it as 8 feet (2.4m) high and 3 feet (.9m) thick. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 159. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
