What is recorded here

Standing stone in Cill Mhic An Domhnaigh is a 1.25m stone near the foot of Mount Eagle in County Kerry, Ireland. It stands in rough, marshy ground, leaning slightly from SSE to NNW with a base of .83m x .25m. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, honour a dead person or watch the mountain, but no clear event survives. The marsh still hides its feet, and the stone still leans into the sky like a witness that refused to leave.
