What is recorded here

Standing stone in Ceathrú An Fheirtéaraigh is a 1.3m high stone on rough Kerry pastureland where outcropping rocks make human placement uncertain. It lies east to west, 1.4m long and at most .73m thick, large enough to mark a boundary, a memory or a passing route if people ever chose it. More likely it is a native stone the land kept visible, waiting for imagination to give it a job.

This stone, located on rough, scrubby pastureland with frequent outcropping rocks, may be naturally positioned. It stands 1.3m high and is 1.4m long x a maximum of .73m thick; E-W. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 104.
