What is recorded here

Two stones stand seven metres apart on the Dingle Peninsula, aligned east to west like a doorway waiting for someone. The taller reaches 3.4m, its base broad enough to circle with outstretched arms, while the shorter flares upward as if straining toward the sky. They have watched weather, herds and forgotten footsteps for longer than memory, silent but not empty.

Located 250m to SSE of KE044-082----, these 2 stones stand 7m apart in an ENE-WSW line. The SW stone stands 2.8m high and measures 1.1m x 1m at base widening to 1.4m towards the top. The NE stone rises to a height of 3.4m and is a maximum of 1.7m x 1.45m at base. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 62. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013

Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, the paired standing stones may have functioned as a ritual or ceremonial alignment, possibly marking a territorial boundary or serving as an astronomical marker. No specific folklore or inscriptions are recorded for this site.
