What is recorded here

Knockmoylemore casts a long shadow across the standing stone, which still rises beside the Garfinny river in County Kerry. The stone is nearly three metres high and leans slightly through the earth like a person listening for water. A modern wall has climbed part of its southern face, yet the older shape remains visible above the new stones. Someone may have set it there to mark a boundary, a loss or a promise, but the mountain and river have kept that conversation alive ever since.

A standing stone situated c. 250m E of the Garfinny river, at the foot of Knockmoylemore. It is c. 2.86m high and measures 1.9m x 1.1m at base; ESE-WNW. A modern stone wall obscures portion of its S face. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 105. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

This standing stone likely dates to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, based on its form and context. Its alignment and positioning may have had ceremonial or territorial significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
