What is recorded here
Lisnagrave’s stone row once stood six metres high on a Kerry ridge, watching every road and field below. Five stones are gone now, leaving only a buried base and local memory of their line. The second stone from the south end tilted slightly outward, as if breaking rank or pointing at something nobody recorded. That small refusal makes the row feel alive rather than dead.
In pasture, on top of a ridge, with commanding views in all directions. The surface of a stone, orientated N-S, is visible at ground level. According to local information, this is the base of a standing stone, which was one of a row of six stones (H c. 2m) aligned N-S. One stone (the second from the S end of the row) was slightly out of line. The locations of three stones were pointed out on the ground surface. A possible standing stone-pair (KE068-111----) lies c. 100m to NE.
