The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on the OS maps, this standing stone is situated in a large expanse of bog at the E end of a low ridge of rock outcrop. Almost hidden by dense overgrowth, it is regular in elevation and inclines very heavily towards SW. It measures 2.4m in overall length and is 1.05m wide and .6m thick at base; NE-SW.
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. 168. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
