The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the fairly steep lower slopes of Knockbeg, overlooking the Emlagh river valley to S, is a standing stone known as 'An Galláinín' (An Seabhac 1939, 287). Almost square in plan at base and roughly rectangular in elevation, it leans heavily to S but would stand 1.9m high if erect; it measures .41m x .4m at base. A few cms from its WNW side, a 2nd stone is set on edge in the ground. This measures .95m N-S x .2m x .42m high. Several small packing stones are also visible. An Seabhac refers to a large prostrate stone in the adjacent field known as 'Páircín na Cloiche'; this was not located and its archaeological significance is not known.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 109. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
