The National Monuments Service's description
This stone is located in rather poor pastureland, about 60m from the SW shore of Lough Currane. Standing 1.98m high, it measures 1.4m x .8m at base; NE-SW. It tapers in both width and thickness towards a roughly pointed top, and a number of packing stones are visible around its base. The site is located c.160m S of a boulder-burial and standing stone (KE098-030001-).
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. 134. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
