What is recorded here
Maumnahaltora holds three sandstone slabs in County Kerry, with the solitary upright joining a contiguous pair eleven metres away. The narrow stone rises sixty centimetres and stretches eighty-five centimetres north-south, small enough for one person to touch across its whole face. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a meeting place, yet it still stands where human life and memory have withdrawn.
A single upright sandstone slab is located a further 11m to NE of the pair of contiguous stones (KE045-013006-). This is a long, low, narrow stone slab (dims. L 0.85m; T 0.15m; H 0.6m) orientated long-axis c. N-S, similar in scale to the pair of upright slabs to SW.
