What is recorded here

Eight stones radiate outward beneath a grassy skin on a Kerry hill, facing the Loo River valley while two silent standing stones watch from the northwest. The cairn does not demand attention; it waits for someone to notice the geometry hidden under pasture. That much is written in the stones themselves. Whether it marked a boundary, a burial or a meeting place remains unspoken, but the deliberate spacing suggests people valued the view enough to shape it.

In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a N-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Loo River. A subcircular cairn (4.4m NW-SE; 3.9m NE-SW; H 0.4m) containing eight stones set radially along its circumference. The surface of the cairn is largely grass covered. There is a standing stone (KE086-004002-) c. 9m to the NW and a standing stone-pair (KE086-004001-) c. 12m to the NW.
