The National Monuments Service's description
Centrally located within KE098-061001- is a cross-inscribed slab, 1.58m high. Of fairly regular elevation, it features a pointed top and measures .24m x .09m at base. Its W face bears a neatly executed Latin cross, with square terminals, which rises from a triangular base. A small square marks the convergence of the arms and shaft. An equal-armed linear cross, .7m high, is inscribed on the slab's opposite face.
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. 949. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
