What is recorded here

Cummeengeera holds a small tapering stone inside an old enclosure, pointing northwest and southeast like a finger across time. The stone stands less than a metre tall, yet it remains the clearest marker in a forgotten landscape. People may have gathered there to measure shadow, mark boundary or remember a name now lost. The stone does not need a name to keep the shape of the meeting alive.

In the SE quadrant of an enclosure (KE111-003----). This standing stone (0.38m x 0.21m; H 0.71m) is subrectangular in plan and rectangular in section and is orientated NW-SE. It tapers slightly towards the top. 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

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ceremonial or territorial function within the enclosed landscape. No specific folklore or detailed symbolic meaning is recorded for this site.
