Standing stone in Timolin

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Fitzgerald recorded a standing stone near Timolin in County Kildare that was removed many years before 1906, and a possible bone cist appeared near its base. The loss is not empty; it is a shape of disappearance. People moved the stone, took it elsewhere or broke it into road and wall, and the land kept the event without naming the hands.
Fitzgerald (JKAS 1906, 464-465) records that a standing stone (similar to the Simmonstown stone (KD038-005----)) formerly stood near the village of Timolin, but that it had been removed, 'many years ago' . A possible cist (KD036-027002-) containing bones was, 'discovered near its base'. Date of upload: 5 September 2016
