What is recorded here

Two stones stand knee-high in the Kealincha valley, aligned like a threshold rather than a monument. They are small enough to span with outstretched arms, yet they have watched the river bend for centuries. Perhaps someone once laid a road past them, marked a boundary, or simply stopped to ask why they were still standing.

Close to N bank and in valley of Kealincha river. Stones, aligned ENE-WSW, stand 1.1m apart; overall length 2.9m. NE stone is 1.1m L, 0.7m T and 1.2mH. SW stone is 0.7m L, 0.5m T and 0.8m H.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
