The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a S-facing rocky slope, overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. This possible standing stone (L 2.65m; Wth 0.6m; T 0.26m) leans against a low outcropping rock. According to local information, the stone once stood in the depression which is visible in the ground at the S end of the stone. Possible packing-stones were noted in this depression.
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.
