What is recorded here

An Tseantóir, baile An Bhiocáire holds two standing stones on a buried mound, the taller marking both faces with a cross and faint lines. A third circular stone bearing a Maltese cross lay loose beside them in the 19th century, suggesting a smaller shrine or boundary marker rather than a single grand monument. The stones are not uniform or monumental; they are practical, layered and local, the kind of place where worship, ownership and memory became entangled before anyone wrote them down.

Two standing stones surmount the mound of a possible leacht (KE052-022004-) near its NW and SE ends. The NW stone is .45m high, and measures .35 x .3m at base. The SE stone is 1.25m high and .25m wide and is decorated on both faces. The E face bears a simple cross with slightly expanded terminals and the W face is inscribed with faint linear markings. A 2nd cross-inscribed stone (KE052-022005-) lay loose beside the latter in the 19th century (Du Noyer, Antiquarian Sketches, vol.4, no.5). It was a roughly circular stone inscribed on one face with a Maltese cross within a circle. To see a 3D model of this monument, visit; https://skfb.ly/6ssxQ The above description is derived from J.
