The National Monuments Service's description

A large prostrate slab lies 1.6m E of the 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps. They are located on the E slopes of Knockavrogeen, c. 475m S of a similar pair of stones (KE043-058----), overlooking the valley of the Milltown river. The standing stone is 2.7m high and measures .84m x .7m at base; ENE-WSW. The prostrate slab, which probably once stood upright, measures 4.5m x 2m x at least .5 to .6m in thickness.

The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 63. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
