Description
Standing stone KE094-060002-
In rough pasture, on top of a knoll, at the base of the SW slope of Knockbrack Mountain and within a network of pre-bog field boundaries (KE094-060001-). This standing stone (0.45m x 0.35m; H 0.75m) is orientated NE-SW. A quartz vein encircles the upper portion of the stone and another area of quartz is visible towards the base on the SW side. The stone stands on an area of the knoll where peat has been removed. Two possible fulachtaí fia (KE094-060003-, KE094-060004-) are situated 35m and 37m to the N, respectively.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
Co-ordinates 51.881647, -9.464662.
