The National Monuments Service's description
In the NW corner of a children's burial ground (KE048-113002-) and within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KE048-113001-). A roughly rectangular stone (H 0.5m; 0.2m x 0.12m) on a NE-SW axis. There is an ogham inscription which reads '…CIRE…or '...CUORE…' along the SW arris. This inscription extends below the ground. The top of the stone appears to have been broken off. Stones are scattered on the ground around the ogham stone. (Dennehy 2001, 20-23)
