What is recorded here

Misplaced on old maps yet unshaken on flat Kerry pasture, the stone stands 1.3m high with a small Latin cross cut into its south face. Its expanded arms and up-turned base suggest worship, marking, or warning, though no human name survives to explain the choice.

This standing stone, situated on flat, well-drained pastureland, is incorrectly positioned on the 1st edition of the OS map. It stands 1.3m high; E-W. On its S face is a small incised Latin cross with slightly expanded terminals to head and arms and an up-turned semi-circle at the base of the shaft. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 80. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013

Probably dating to the early Christian period (5th–9th century AD), the incised Latin cross suggests a Christian ritual or memorial function, possibly associated with a local settlement or ecclesiastical site.
