What is recorded here

This pair of standing stones is located on a small rise on the E bank of the Kealduff river. The larger of the two occurs at NNE, and inclines to SW. It stands 1.75m high and measures 1.1m x .65m at base; NNE- SSW. The second stone, a squat boulder, is located .95m to SW. It stands 1.3m high at its S edge, and measures 1.1m x .55m at base. A build-up of stone debris, both against and between the stones, is probably the result of field clearance (Ó Nualláin 1988,250). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 122. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
