The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope at the SW side of Ormond's Island in Kenmare Bay. A sandstone boulder (1.4m E-W; 1.15m N-S; T 0.55m), partially incorporated into a field boundary to the N, rests on at least three support-stones (H 0.5m at E; H 0.4m at W). The flat-topped upper surface of the boulder slopes down gently to the W.
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.
