The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on either edition of the OS maps, this possible standing stone is located on the S slopes of Knocknaskereighta mountain, overlooking St Finan’s Bay to SW. It is incorporated into a N-S field wall, and only its upper third is visible. This portion, of rounded triangular form, measures 1.46m high, 2m wide and averages .6m thick. It is orientated N-S.
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. 243. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
