The National Monuments Service's description
An irregularly-shaped sandstone boulder on a fairly steep SE facing slope overlooking Brandon Bay. At base it measures 1.55m wide, and .5m to .65m thick; NNE-SSW. In height it increases from .45m at NNE to 1.45m at the opposite side, and a bulbous protrusion at the top of this latter side gives the stone a maximum width of 1.95m.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 90. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
