Standing stone

Standing stone, pair

What is recorded here

No trace survives of the pair of standing stones marked on the OS maps on a SE facing slope overlooking Dingle Bay. According to Macalister (1899, 219-20), the stones, 3 feet 1 inch (.9m) and 2 feet 4 inches (.7m) high, stood 3 feet 2 inches (.95m) apart 'on a low ridge of ground seemingly an ancient boundary of some kind, which runs NNE and SSW'. Curran described them as standing '6 feet (1.8m) apart in the fence'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 68. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
