There is another standing stone (KE094-064002-) 25m to the NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its orientation and location suggest possible alignment with solar or ritual practices, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
