The National Monuments Service's description
A stone slab, .9m high, with a linear Latin cross on its E face. This was furnished with a bar terminal on its upper shaft. On the W face of the slab was a poorly preserved Latin cross, which may have featured a reversed chi-rho monogram. This cross slab cannot now be located, and may be the stone referred to at this site by Windele in 1848, who also noted that stations took place at the site during Easter (R1A MS 12 C 11).
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 973. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
