The National Monuments Service's description
Close to its W side is another series of upright slabs, 2.4m long N-S, which may form the side of a second leacht. The cross-slab is .61m x .22m x .08m thick, and tapers to a roughly pointed base; its broken upper end features a portion of an encircled, equal-armed cross with trifid terminals.
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. 933. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
