What is recorded here

Two stones stand four metres apart in a coniferous forest south of the Castletownbere-Kenmare road, one facing east-west and the other tilted on a different axis. They mark the edge of a linear stony scarp, suggesting a boundary or path rather than a random pile of rock. The forest has claimed the surrounding land, but the stones remain visible, waiting for someone to walk between them and remember what the line once excluded.

In a coniferous forest, to the S of the Castletownbere-Kenmare road. This standing stone (0.65m x 0.27m; H 1.92m), which is on the edge of a linear stony scarp, is roughly rectangular in section and plan and is orientated E-W. Another standing stone (KE108-043001-), on a different orientation, stands c. 4m to the SW. 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 dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had a ritual or territorial function. Its placement near a scarp suggests possible alignment or landscape significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
