What is recorded here

Diamond-shaped in plan and a metre tall, the stone still points northeast-southwest across a flat wound in the Kerry bog. It is small enough to overlook, yet its sharp geometry refuses to dissolve into the surrounding decay. The land has been cut away and changed, but the stone remains fixed, marking a line of human attention older than the scarred earth around it.

On a level area of extensive cutaway bog. This standing stone (dims. 0.55m x 0.37m; H 1m) is diamond-shaped in plan and rectangular in shape and orientated NE-SW.

Probably dating to the late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its orientation and placement on a raised area suggest a possible alignment with seasonal or astronomical events, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
