The National Monuments Service's description
This slim, pillar-like slab is loosely set into the foundations of the church (KE082-001001-), just S of its doorway. The exposed portion is .87m high, measures .11m x .07m in maximum dimensions, and tapers to the base. A linear Latin cross, formed of shallow grooves, is carved on the upper portion of its SW face. Two small dots occur in the upper angles of the cross.
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. 969. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
