The National Monuments Service's description
This standing stone is situated on top of a boggy ridge which overlooks the Owreagh river to S. It has very recently been broken, and its upper half now lies prostrate at the E side of the basal portion, which stands .8m high and has basal dimensions of .85m x .3m; N-S. The stone would have originally stood about 1.3m high. The area in which it is located is now planted with trees.
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. 188. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
