~ 500 m SW, in Aghacarrible (V 511997) 20 metres S of a by-road, in a field entered by the leftmost of two field gates, and on either side of the right-hand field-fence, is a large boulder with cups and rings, gutters, and other typical designs.
~ 700 m SSW in Doonmanagh (V 525996), 150 metres W of a rough, damp track zig-zagging down towards the sea, is a wedge-tomb, lurking behind a wall about 300 metres SW of a radio transmitter, but visible from the road which passes the mast. “Poukauncorrin” (The Fairies’ Cave) is a small well-preserved tomb. At least one sidestone has been removed from the NW side, together with some of the cairn, to provide access and make the tomb a snug shelter or habitation. The site affords superb views to the W and NW, and E and SE towards Magillicuddy’s Reeks.
~ About 400 m NE of Doonmanagh (Q 532003) to the N of the narrow winding road which passes the transmitter in Graigue is a remarkable tall standing-stone split vertically in two, one piece leaning on what appears to be the remains of a second stone.
~ 9.5 km W by N, 800 metres ESE of the village of Milltown (Q 429010), almost opposite the graveyard and to the W of the road from Dingle to Ventry, on top of a low cairn is a boulder almost 4 metres long, decorated with cups and circles and grooves. Nearby are standing-stones, and another boulder with markings. To the N are the ‘Gates of Glory’ (one broken), and 40 metres W, by the roadside, is another standing-stone 2.4 metres high.
~ Just under 2 kms E by N in Lugnagapull (Q 542003),marked “Clocha Ogaim” on the map, in a field close to the road called “Pairc na Foiladh”: the Field of Blood, is a line of three remarkable Ogam stones which are small, smooth pulvinars, one of which is beautifully egg-shaped and reads GOSSUCTTIAS. As is frequently the case with Irish monuments, there are white quartzite pebbles at the base of the stones.
~ 10.7 km WNW in Kilfountan (marked “Gallán” on the map) is a fine conspicuous standing-stone.
The Dingle peninsula is littered with Standing-stones (marked Gallán [singular] and Galláin [plural] on the map), as well as a rich variety of Early Christian sites with cross-pillars, Ogam-stones, cross-slabs, circular stone huts [Clocháns] etc. Almost all are clearly marked on the map.
