What is recorded here

Absence from modern mapping does not diminish the stone; it refuses to be handled by outside systems. The squat boulder still occupies the low rounded hill, surrounded by old field walls and boggy land that preserve the shape of earlier human use. Forgetting the location may be an act of protection, keeping the place clear from tourist cameras and casual ownership while still available to anyone who walks there with attention.

This standing stone, not marked on the OS maps, is situated on a low rounded hill in marshy boggy land. Irregular in elevation, the squat boulder stands 1.03m high and measures 1.6m wide and 0.93m thick at base; N-S. Stretches of old field walls, measuring 5m to 15m long, occur N, E and S of the site. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 215. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial feature. Its placement on a low hill suggests a possible alignment with landscape features or seasonal events, though specific folklore or use remains undocumented.
