What is recorded here

Stone row in Fortwilliam stood as three large stones aligned across County Kerry before people removed them and buried them inside a house wall. The stones may have marked a boundary, a meeting place or a line of sight across the land, but that purpose disappeared when the wall closed over them. They still exist, perhaps beneath a kitchen or bedroom, carrying the shape of the row into ordinary domestic life.

According to the Kerry Field Club Notes, there was a stone alignment in Fortwilliam which consisted of three large stones. It was removed some years ago and incorporated into a wall of a house. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 31. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
