The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock, in rough rocky hill pasture on the S-facing slopes of Knockantooreen. Two stones, set on an E-W alignment and standing 1.05m apart, protrude above the surface of the bog. The E stone (H 0.8m; 0.19m x 0.18m), which is orientated NE-SW, is roughly square in plan at the base and leans to the SE. The upright stone (H 0.64m; 0.3m x 0.08m) at W, which is orientated E-W, is roughly rectangular in plan. A low narrow stone (H 0.18m; 0.47m x 0.04m) is parallel to and lies immediately NE of the W stone.
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.
