The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on fairly level pastureland, with good, open views in all directions, this standing stone measures 1.91m in height, 1.14m in width at base, narrowing to .76m at top, and .61m in thickness at base, narrowing to .14m at top; ENE-WSW. On the W side a lightly incised cross is enclosed within a roughly executed and irregular oval below which are 3 smaller crosses; on the E side the initial D and a small cross have been carved. These may be of fairly recent origin.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 91. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
