What is recorded here
Standing stone in Coorleagh is a 1.4 m rectangular stone in County Kerry, Ireland, set on a west-facing pasture slope above a river valley. It points northeast-southwest, and a person could have stood beside it, watched the water below, and marked the place for others. The stone still does that: it holds attention, gives the valley a witness, and waits for someone to notice it again.
In pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking a river valley. This standing stone (1.25m x 0.65m; H 1.4m) is rectangular in plan and is orientated NE-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.
