The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in rough wet pastureland on the S slopes of Mullaghmore overlooking Castlemaine Harbour, this stone stands 1.8m high and measures 2.35m x .65m at base; E-W. The sides exhibit a pronounced shoulder c. 0.5m above the ground, then taper evenly towards a point at top. In the immediate vicinity, particularly to S and SW, are the ruined remains of disused field walls; some, but not all of these are shown on the 2nd edition of the OS map.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 118. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
