The National Monuments Service's description
Calluragh Burial ground (KE052-105001-) /An Cheallúnach: Situated on the lower E slopes of Mount Eagle, this oval enclosure contains within it the remains of a clochaun, a possible souterrain and a cross-slab. A 2nd cross slab was listed at the site by Crawford (1912, 235), and Curran (no.4) recorded the discovery of 2 quernstones here but the present whereabouts of these is not known. Another cross-slab (KE052-106----) stands against the E side of a field fence c. 45m to SE of the site.
Cross-inscribed Stones: (2) (KE052-105007-) The only record of the 2nd cross-inscribed stone appears to be a rubbing in the RIA (Crawford). On it was carved a Greek cross with expanded ends and below this a saltire cross with double spiral ends, each quadrant occupied by a small cup surrounded by a circle.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 860. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
