- KE063-017: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE063-017----. This stone, located on a slight terrace on the E side of a low hill between Knocknatinna and Ross Behy mountains, overlooks Dingle Bay. Trapezoidal in basal plan and irregular in elevation, it measures 2.05m x 1.2m x .35m; NE-SW. The SW side of the stone rises almost vertically, while the other side tapers gradually towards its flat top. The stone inclines to NW, and is markedly more weathered on this face. Adjacent to it at NW are two thick slabs, set at right angles to one another; these average 1.15m long and .55m thick, and their tops barely protrude above ground level. 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. 175. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
