An Gráig standing stone
An Gráig standing stone submitted by GaelicLaird : Photo taken August 2021. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone (Menhir) in Co. Kerry. A solitary standing stone, officially recorded as monument number KE054-029----

Located on level ground at the E end of the Sea Hill ridge, this stone has split vertically into 2 separate slabs. The greater portion remains standing and is 3.75m high and c. 2.6m x .7m at base; NE-SW. A large slab, 3m high, 2.2m wide and c. 0.15m thick, has become detached from the NW face and rests at a 45 degrees angle, supported by 2 low uprights, neither of which appears to be socketed in the ground. These latter stand .9m and 1.1m high. The stone appears to have been intact in the early 19th century (OSNB Minard, 31).



The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 115.

Although not strictly accessable by wheelchair as it is in a field without any paths a visitor could view this stone from the nearby roadside quite easily.
