The National Monuments Service's description
KE104A-001043- This slab, of irregular elevation, forms part of the SW side of the Monks' Graveyard (11). One face features a radial arrangement of incised linear grooves and small, natural circular depressions. The former has led to the slab being interpreted as a sundial, but they may be tool-sharpening marks. H: .98m. W: .49m. T: .06m.
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. 948. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
