The National Monuments Service's description
A large, degraded, split, oak plank located on the headland but probably displaced from a togher (LF022-064015-) (L 6.5m, Wth up to 0.62m, T up to 0.25m). The plank displays three mortices or notches and at one end a large oval knot-hole which may also have been used as a mortice. (Dunne 1999, 35, 99DBSE0024A). This plank is part of a togher (LF022-064015-) and is not a monument in its own right.
