What is recorded here

This pair of standing stones is located in level pasture on the lower SE slopes of Cahernageeha, just W of the Comnahorna river. The site commands an extensive view to SW along the river valley. Some 275m to NE is the four-stone row at Garrough (KE106-026001-), and about 100m to SW is a single standing stone (KE106-131----). The stones stand 4m apart in a NE-SW line. The taller stone, at SW, is of regular elevation and stands 1.75m high, measuring .95m x .7m at base; it inclines slightly to N. The second stone rises to a height of 1.45m, and measures .55m x .44m at base. Packing stones are visible around the bases of both stone (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. 118. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
