The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the lower NW slopes of Reenconnell, this low standing stone, roughly rectangular in plan and elevation, measures 1.07m high x .56m wide NW-SE x a maximum of .27m thick. It is located 1.9m E of, and was formerly separated by a field fence from the remains of a circular hut site (KE033-013002-). Its proximity to these remains may indicate a connection, but at present it is free standing and has no obvious structural function.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 116. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
