What is recorded here
Standing stone in Dromlusk leans slightly southeast on a Kerry hillock, its irregular body catching light along a northeast-southwest line. It rises through rough pasture and old field marks, witness to seasons, herds and forgotten foot traffic. A person may have passed there in rain, marked a boundary or simply stared until the stone became company.
In rough hill pasture, on top of a hillock and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE091-113002-). This standing stone (1.3m x 0.25m; H 1.6m) is irregular in plan and is orientated NE-SW. It leans to the SE.
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.
