What is recorded here
Slievenavadoge in County Kerry holds a buried memory rather than a visible monument. In 1940, Mr. McMahon showed the Kerry Field Club a large stone dug from one of his fields, suggesting it may have been a small Gallan. The exact spot has vanished, leaving behind the image of a farmyard where ancient shape and domestic life collided.
The precise location of a possible standing stone in the townland of Slievenavadoge recorded in the Minute Book of County Kerry Field Club 03/02/1940 (Vol. 1, 82-3) has not been identified. The Kerry Field Club recorded that; 'In his farmyard Mr. McMahon showed us a large stone which he dug up in one one of his fields. This has the appearance of having been a small Gallan'.
