The National Monuments Service's description
This low boulder-like standing stone is located on a N-S ridge in a tract of bog on the W side of the Blackwater river valley. It stands .95m high and is of roughly rectangular plan at base, where it measures 1.75m x .7m; E-W. Its W edge gradually tapers inwards, while the other edge rises more or less vertically to a moderately flat top. A ringbarrow (KE091-100----) is located c. 100m to 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. 178. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
