What is recorded here

Lacka East holds a ninety-six centimetre stone, narrow enough for two hands to surround yet old enough to anchor the edge of human memory. It rises no higher than a kitchen table, but it has watched herds, storms and forgotten roads for longer than any house in Kerry. People may have tied ribbons to it, measured shadows against it or simply avoided stepping on its root. Smallness does not diminish witness; it concentrates it.

A small, stone which has a maximum height of .96m and a minimum height of .82m, it is a maximum of .93m wide and .51m thick. This stone is marked on the 1939 OS map as 'Standing stone'. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 14. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
