What is recorded here
Standing stone in Killeens (cork By.) stands seventy centimetres tall in rough boggy pasture, overlooking the Blarney River valley. Its rectangular body tapers slightly upwards, while a second possible stone waits sixty metres to the northeast. The pair mark the slope like forgotten sentinels, preserving a boundary or warning long after the hands that placed them disappeared.
