Situated on a relatively level shoulder c. 220m upslope of the previous, very similar example.

It stands 3m high and is a maximum of 1.4m wide and an average of .69m thick at base; ENE-WSW.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 100. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
