Standing Stone in Co. Kerry

Officially recorded as monument KE079-055002

The standing stone (KE079-055002-) is of approximately rectangular elevation and stands 3.43m in maximum height. It is roughly trapezoidal in plan at base, measuring 1.43m x .34m; NE-SW. It averages .4m thick. A number of packing stones are visible around its base, and a slab, 1.5m long, leans against its SE face. At present the monument is upright, though Chatterton noted that it was then 'very easily shaken' (1839, 265), an observation which may explain the presence of the supporting slab.

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. 1454.

The stone is located within the walls of Cromwell Fort (monument no KE079-055001). The lighthouse shown in the photo is opened to the public and worth a visit.
