The National Monuments Service's description
This irregularly shaped standing stone is situated on the W facing slope of Meelin ridge, in an area of rough boggy pasture, from which a view to SW along the Ferta river valley is commanded. It stands 1.85m high, and measures 1.49m x .22m at base; E-W. The E side rises almost vertically before tapering towards the top, while its W side tapers gradually from the base, where some packing stones are visible.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 137. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
