The National Monuments Service's description
About 300m from the N shore of Castlemaine Harbour, and c. 30m W of a small S flowing stream, is a low upright measuring .6m in height, .84m in width and .29m in thickness; NE-SW. A series of linear markings on the upper surface, previously interpreted as 'pseudo-ogham' (CKFC 1939, 13 and 1941 and 1946), appear to be either natural or accidental.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 162. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
