The National Monuments Service's description
A regular upright slab, marked 'Gallaun' (KE078-010004-) on the OS maps, stands close to the SW side of the entrance. It is 1.54m high and measures .95m x .3m at base; NW-SE. A second slab, c. 1.6m long, lies prostrate 1.5m to E and is almost completely covered by sod. These slabs probably served as portals on the inner side of the entrance.
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. 549. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
