In level pasture. An upright red sandstone boulder (dims. 0.48m x 0.74m; H 1.6m), irregular in plan. This may be the stone near Farranfore described in 1938 as being 'six and a half feet [1.98m] high bearing prints of a man's hand' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry) though no marking were noted on the stone at the time of inspection. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
