Staigue, Castlecove, County Kerry

Cup-and-Ring Stone:  OS Grid Reference – V 607 619

Archaeology & History

In o’ Sullivan & Sheehan’s (1996) magnum opus, they reported the discovery of a decent cup-and-ring stone “during road-widening operations in the 1970s,” a short distance west of the river Staigue. It was “seen to have rock art motifs on it, but it has since been covered over.”  Its design was apparently similar to a complex carving at found Liss (V 608 617), just 300 yards or so to the south.
