The National Monuments Service's description
This standing stone is situated in an area of flat bogland on the S side of the Inny valley. It rises irregularly to a rounded top and is somewhat irregular in plan at base, measuring .6m x .68m; NW-SE. It stands to a maximum height of 1.4m. Its SE edge rises almost vertically, while the other edge tapers inwardly from a point .85m above the base.
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. 172. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
