The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on the NW bank of a stream. Two stones, one prostrate (dims. 1.3m x 0.75m; T 0.25m) and the other upright (L 0.93m; T 0.55m; H 1.32m) are c. 0.7m apart. The overall alignment of the stones, if both were upright, would be ENE-WSW. An anomalous stone group (KE101-024010-) lies c. 8m to the SW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
