This stone rests on top of a large rock outcrop in a S facing pasture field strewn with many such outcrops and erratics. The stone, bearing 8 definite and 3 possible cup-marks, measures 1.4m x 1.15m. The rock beneath measures 2.7m x 2.9m and bears the inscription '11 August 1950'; near the S end of its E edge are 2 shallow possible cup-marks. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 178. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
