What is recorded here

Standing stone in Lisroe (magunihy By.) is a two-metre oval monolith on a low Kerry hill, aligned ENE-WSW beside a rath. Sheep graze around it now, but the stone still points across the valley like a forgotten measure. Its smooth faces and irregular western edge suggest handling, weather or age, while the nearby rath implies people once lived within sight of it.

In pasture, on the summit of a low hill. This standing stone (dims. 1.5m x 1m; H 2m), orientated ENE-WSW, is roughly oval in shape and plan. It tapers towards the top on the N and S faces. The surface of the stone is irregular on the W face but relatively smooth elsewhere. There is a rath (KE058-080---) c. 100m to the WSW.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or inscriptions are recorded for the site.
