At Carrigeencullia in County Kerry, a standing stone is recorded on a south-east-facing slope of open pasture, looking out towards The Paps of Dana, the twin-peaked hills long associated with the goddess Anu in Irish mythology. The problem is that no visible remains of the stone exist. What survives is essentially the memory of a monument, a point on a map where something once stood, or was believed to stand, or perhaps never quite stood in the form later tradition assumed.

The Paps of Dana in the background are worth noting. Standing stones across Ireland are frequently found in deliberate relationship with the wider landscape, oriented towards significant hills, water features, or seasonal solar positions. Whether the stone at Carrigeencullia was placed with those peaks in view by design, or whether that alignment is coincidence, cannot now be said. What can be said is that the slope commands a clear sightline to one of the most mythologically loaded landforms in Munster, and that someone, at some point, thought this location significant enough to erect a monument here, or to record one.
