The National Monuments Service's description
A roughly dressed heart-shaped stone finial (H 0.27m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.14m) with a rounded bottom. The upper portion of one of the projections is missing. This finial was formerly on the ecclesiastical site of Sceilg Mhichíl, where it probably surmounted a gable of St Michael's Church (KE104A001042-), and it is now in the care of the OPW (National Monuments Depot, Killarney).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
