What is recorded here

Forget the idea that mapping every stone makes the world complete. Some places resist that temptation. They wait beside rivers, behind hedges, in fields no one thinks to measure twice. The chamber is already built. The doorway has no handle. You must recognise the shape of the invitation before asking permission to enter it.

This rather weathered stone is located in a level field, on the W bank of the River Laune. It is 2.1m high and of regular elevation, measuring 1.15m x 1.1m at base; NW-SE. It is not marked on the OS maps. 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. 133. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
