The National Monuments Service's description
The cross-inscribed stone recorded by the Co. Kerry Field Club in 1947 has not been located. It lay 100 to 200 metres E of the river that forms the W boundary of the townland and a short distance from either the N boundary wall of the townland or the E-W wall c. 600m to S of the latter (information: Seán Ó Dubhda, Ballyduff). The area is now forested. The stone measured .9 x .3m and its upper face was inscribed with a cross-in-circle.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 876. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
