The National Monuments Service's description
Located in bog on the S slopes of Knocklomena mountain, SW of Lough Fadda, this standing stone overlooks Kenmare Bay to S. It inclines slightly to SE, and a split runs the length of its SE face. Rectangular in elevation, it stands 1.15m high and measures .85m and .5m in basal dimensions; NE-SW. Packing stones are visible in the peat at its base. It is not marked on the OS maps.
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. 169. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
