What is recorded here

A tall standing stone rises inside Cromwell's Fort on the Iveragh Peninsula, carrying centuries of human history in its shadow. The stone predates the fort by millennia, yet it still stands firm within the later enclosure. Its base is packed with smaller stones, and a leaning slab supports its south-eastern face. What began as an ancient marker became part of a military landscape, giving the place a strange layered life.

This low block is located in rough, uncultivated land, about 430m NE of KE089-033----. It rises to a height of 1.27m, and its roughly rectangular base measures 1.04m x .66m; NE-SW. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 174. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
