What is recorded here

Standing stone in Arda Mór (tc Cinn Aird) is a low boulder set upright on a north-facing slope in County Kerry, Ireland. It stands 1.45m tall, splays outward to 1.68m across, then tapers into two peaks at the top. Packing stones are visible on the west side, suggesting the boulder was positioned rather than merely fallen into notice. Below the low hill where the stone alignment lies, it marks a place where human hands may have shaped the landscape long before records named it.

A low standing stone situated on a N facing slope, below the low hill where the stone alignment (KE054-016----) is located. It is a large boulder set upright in the ground and measures 1.45m in height and .6m x .65m at base; SSE-NNW. The sides splay outwards to a maximum width of 1.68m and then taper slightly to the top which is divided into two peaks; several packing stones are visible on the W side. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 70.

Probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, given its form and context near a known stone alignment. It may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to early farming communities or local landscape markers.
