The National Monuments Service's description
Lynch (1976, 119) recorded a possible stone alignment close to the cliff-edge at the N side of Clogher strand. It consisted of a single orthostat, orientated roughly NNE-SSW, and 2 prostrate slabs lying c. 6m and c. 9.5m to NNE. The stones are no longer visible and the standing stone, perched close to the cliff-edge, may have fallen into the sea.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 53. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
