Standing stone in Minish

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Mangerton Mountain rises above level pasture in County Kerry, overlooking the empty ground where a standing stone vanished. Local memory places it six metres west-southwest of its surviving partner, yet no stone remains for eyes to find. The loss transforms the site into a ghost marker, forcing imagination to complete what flesh and stone forgot.
In level pasture, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. According to local information, a standing stone stood c. 6m to the WSW of another standing stone (KE067-041001-). There are no visible remains of this stone. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
