Located on the summit of the old roadway that traverses the Coomduff ridge, this exposed section of reddish bedrock, 4.5m long N-S, bears a series of incised crosses.One deeply incised Latin cross dominates the group and measures .7m x .5m. Three unusual W-shaped motifs also occur.
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. 1483. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
