Standing stone in Termons

This standing stone, not marked on the OS maps, is situated on a low rounded hill in marshy boggy land. Irregular in elevation, the squat boulder stands 1.03m high and measures 1.6m wide and 0.93m thick at base; N-S. Stretches of old field walls, measuring 5m to 15m long, occur N, E and S of the site. 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. 215. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial feature. Its placement on a low hill suggests a possible alignment with landscape features or seasonal events, though specific folklore or use remains undocumented.
