The National Monuments Service's description
This stone lies on edge on the upper S slopes of Knocknafreaghane, where it abuts the corner of a boundary which encloses a derelict farm complex. Its long axis lies E-W, and its E end tapers strongly. Its maximum dimensions are 3.1m x 1.35m, and its maximum thickness is .52m. The OSRNB recorded that it fell from an upright position around 1896.
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. 135. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
