Standing stone in Bunbinnia

In rough hill pasture, on a rocky SE-facing slope overlooking Lough Reagh. This standing stone (0.95m x 0.35m; H 0.95m) is subrectangular in plan and section and leans slightly to the W. It is orientated NNE-SSW. There are two hut sites (KE073-053002-, KE073-053003-) c. 2m to the SW and c. 36m to the WNW, respectively. 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

Probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, given its form and orientation. Its purpose may have been ceremonial or ritual, possibly linked to landscape features such as Lough Reagh, though specific folklore or use is not recorded.
