What is recorded here

Knockroe holds a tapering stone on a sunny slope above the River Inny, pointing northeast and southwest like a quiet arrow. It rises one and a half metres from rough grazing, small enough to touch but old enough to outlast every hand that may have touched it. The valley moves around it in water and grass while the stone keeps its shape, waiting for someone to remember why it still stands.

In rough grazing, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Inny. This upright stone (0.65m x 0.4m; H 1.35m) is subrectangular in plan and section and is orientated NE-SW. The upper half of the stone tapers 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
