What is recorded here

No god is named, no king recorded. A tall thin stone still stands in blanket bog on a south-facing slope in County Kerry, aligned east to west like a pointer rather than a monument. Its edges are blunt, its height just over a metre, small enough to be overlooked and old enough to belong before memory.

In blanket bog, on the N side of a terrace, on a S-facing slope. This standing stone (1.8m x 0.15m; H 1.15m) is subrectangular in plan and section and is orientated E-W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
