The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on SE-facing slope overlooking causeway to Inchidoney Island. Described by Roberts (1988, ch. 1) as 'Clogh-Cinn - the stone of the headland'; drawing shows upright stone with two kidney-shaped perforations and three semi-circular notches. The stone is now broken. The lower portion (H 0.7m; 0.65m x 0.08m) remains embedded; long axis almost E-W. A fragment of the upper portion (L 0.92m; 0.68m x 0.07m) lies 1.8m to N; remains of two perforations were noted on this; several lines and letters have been inscribed on it including the abbreviation RIP.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
