What is recorded here

Two upright stones stand 2.4m apart in Kerry pasture, aligned north-south on an elevation with views in all directions. The southern stone is split into parallel parts, one leaning west and propped by a smaller stone, as if movement or damage had been accepted rather than hidden. Their odd balance suggests a place where human attention worked with what the land already revealed.

In pasture, on an elevation with views in all directions. Two upright stones, 2.4m apart and aligned N-S. The N stone (L 0.8m; T 0.7m; H 1.6m) is the smaller and more rounded of the two. The S stone is split into two parallel parts: the larger portion (L 1.05m; T 0.4m; H 2.39m) is upright and the smaller part (L 0.96m; T 0.25m; H 1.8m) leans to the W and is supported by a smaller stone.

Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, the pair may have functioned as a ritual or ceremonial alignment, possibly marking a territorial boundary or serving as an astronomical marker. Local folklore sometimes associates such paired stones with legendary figures or protective charms against evil spirits.
