The National Monuments Service's description
In the centre of an enclosure (KE108-049006-). The remains consist of two upright stones at W, set at right angles to each other. The most easterly of these stones is the largest (H 1.17m; 1.18m x 0.2m) and is orientated N-S. Three separate prostrate slabs (W slab: 1.35m x 0.65m x 0.2m; middle slab: 2.2m x 0.8m x 0.15m; E slab: 1.5m x 1.25m x 0.22m) are arranged in a line to the E of the large stone. The E end of the E slab is raised (H 0.4m) by a smaller stone underneath it. The overall length of the arrangement is 5m.
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.
