The National Monuments Service's description
A fragment with several scores preserved, reading HATA, was recorded lying on the wall of one of the cells in 1869 (Brash 1879, 288). This may be the same stone that was noted at the site in 1938 by Harris (1939, 178). Macalister throws doubt on both identifications, however, and suggests that the stone may have been a fragment of a grooved paving slab (1945, 207).
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 952. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
