In a stretch of rough pasture in Tullorum, County Kerry, there is a standing stone that no longer stands, and in fact no longer appears to exist in any visible form at all. It is recorded, catalogued, and assigned a location, yet the ground itself offers nothing to confirm it was ever there.

Standing stones are among the most common prehistoric monuments in Ireland, raised as markers, memorials, or boundary indicators across thousands of years, yet rarely with any surviving explanation of their purpose. The one at Tullorum, whatever its original function, has left no trace above the surface. Whether it fell, was removed for building material, or simply sank into the soft ground over the centuries is unknown. What the location does retain is its setting, open rough pasture with views southwest toward Mangerton Mountain, one of the higher peaks of the Deartfhuinn range that dominates this part of Kerry. That aspect, the orientation toward significant upland terrain, is something found at a number of prehistoric monument sites, though whether it was deliberate here is impossible to say without the stone itself.
