What is recorded here

Two tall stones faced each other on a Kerry pasture slope in the 1940s, marking a boundary or meeting place now lost beneath grass and forgotten hands. Field clearance in the mid-1990s scattered what remained, leaving only faint protrusions to the north and a vague memory of vertical presence. The land kept its shape longer than people kept its name, turning witness into rumor and rumor into silence.

In pasture, on a small rise, on a NE-facing slope. In the 1940s 'two gallauns about 5 ft [1.52m] high and facing each other' were recorded on Mr J.D. Lyne's land (ITA). There are no visible remains of these stones. According to local information, field clearance works were carried out here in the mid-1990s and stones were deposited in the field to the NE. Immediately to the N some stones are visible, protruding slightly above the ground surface.
