The National Monuments Service's description
Located in pasture, c. 400m N of Lough Currane and W of the Cummeragh river, this site, not marked on the OS maps, commands an extensive view of the lake. The 7.25m long row, orientated NE-SW, is composed of four stones. The stone at NE stands 1.1m high and measures .83m x .47m at base. Irregular in elevation and .93m to SW, the second stone measures 1.47m x 1.16m x .5m. The smallest stone of the row stands .77m further to SW; it is .45m high and measures .48m x .4m at base. The fourth and tallest stone stands at a distance of 1.05m to SW again; it stands 2.5m high and measures 1.93m x .9m at base. Some packing stones are visible around their bases.
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. 106. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
