What is recorded here
Mangerton Mountain rises beside Gortagullane, where a sandstone marker leans above the heathland. It guards an old trackway, perhaps guiding travellers upward or marking a boundary forgotten by time. The stone remains stubbornly visible, waiting for someone to remember why it was set in that exact place.
In heathland, on the lower N-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. An upright sandstone stone (dims. 1.07m x 0.3m; H 0.85m), rectangular in elevation and orientated E-W. It is on an old trackway (KE074-032----) leading up Mangerton Mountain and within Killarney National Park.
