What is recorded here

Killaha Mountain dropped two stones toward Kenmare Bay, but time or human hands took one back. The survivor still leans southeast in rough pasture, its rectangular body marking a boundary drawn long before written memory. What the missing partner guarded, whether a path, a grave or a promise, has faded into the slope.

In rough pasture, on a level area on the lower NW-facing slopes of Killaha Mountain overlooking Kenmare Bay to the N. Two stones were indicated close together here incorporated into a NW-SE field boundary on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Only one stone (dims. 1.4m x 0.8m; H 2.55m) now remains. It is rectangular in shape and plan and orientated NNE-SSW. It leans to the SE and packing-stones are visible at the SW corner. A standing stone (KE093-046001-) is c. 80m to the NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
