Standing stone in Termons

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Termons is a short vertical marker at the landward edge of a small promontory beside Lough Currane, not marked on ordinary maps. Its D-shaped body rises about 1.3m from boggy pasture, with packing stones still visible near one base. Whatever it recorded has gone quiet, leaving only rain, grass and the memory of a line drawn across the land.
Not marked on the OS maps, this short standing stone is located in rough boggy pasture at the landward end of a small promontory which projects into Lough Currane. It is roughly D-shaped in plan, measuring a maximum of 1.1m x .75m; N-S. The sides rise almost vertically, reaching a height of 1.3m. Some packing stones are visible around the base of its N end. 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. 212. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
