The National Monuments Service's description
A standing stone, cup-marked stone and possible cist (KE045-082----) are grouped in close proximity to one another, overlooking the Anascaul valley from the level summit of a local E-W rise, in generally undulating pastureland at the foot of Knockafeehane. The standing stone measures 1.24m x .65m at base, the sides rising irregularly to a pointed top at a height of 3.25m; E-W. A simple Latin cross with expanded terminals has been added to the N face about 1.25m from the base.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 86. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
