What is recorded here
Barrow holds a lost stone marker near the western sea cliff facing Fenit. A large conglomerate block lies displaced rather than standing, suggesting human hands moved or broke an older boundary. The cliff wind still works that place, keeping the stone visible but refusing to explain why it fell.
The precise location of a possible standing stone in the townland of Barrow recorded in the Minute Book of County Kerry Field Club 6 December 1941 (Vol. 1, 242-3) has not been identified. The Kerry Field Club recorded that at the W end of the townland near the sea cliff facing Fenit they found 'a large block of conglomerate stone which appears to be a 'gallan' removed from its position'.
