What is recorded here

Cloghera More is a forgotten standing stone in County Kerry, Ireland, not marked on official maps and no longer visible because it was removed around the turn of the century. It stood about 1.8m high in rough pasture southeast of the Owenroe river, near Ooangallaun Cave. A place can vanish from human memory and still leave a shape behind: a hollow in the field, a changed shadow at dusk, or a story told without believing it.

Not marked on the OS maps, this tall standing stone was located in rough pasture SE of the Owenroe river, not far from the site marked ‘Ooangallaun Cave’(KE082-018----). It stood about (1.8m) high, and was apparently removed sometime around the turn of this century (local information). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 229. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to nearby cave sites used for burial or ceremonial purposes. Local folklore or specific use is not recorded.
