The National Monuments Service's description
Carrigcreender/Carraig Chríondar: Situated on level pastureland on the low ridge separating the Owenascaul river from one of its tributaries to W. The site comprises a rather enigmatic group of 4 stones in a rough N-S line. The southernmost is an earthfast boulder measuring .6m in height and .9m x .5m at base. About .9m to N is a standing stone measuring 1.35m in height and .61m x .7m at base. Two prostrate stones lie .35m further N again; the westernmost partly overlies its companion and it is possible that both formerly stood upright. However, only the standing stone is shown on the OS maps and mentioned in the OSNB (Ballynacourty, 29).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 161. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
