This four-stone row is located on a level terrace on the S side of the Coomnahorna river, and commands an extensive view along the valley to Darrynane Bay at W. A small enclosure occurs adjacent to it, and a pair of standing stones (KE106-023001-) is located less than 300m to SW. Set in pasture dominated by rock outcrop, the row has a general NE-SW orientation and measures 10.44m in overall length. Two of the stones lie prostrate. One of these, at NE, measures 1.4m x .6m x .25m; the pit in which it stood until recently is located 1m NE of the second stone. The latter stands 1.4m high, and measures 1.05m x .5m at base. The second prostrate stone lies 1.9m further to SW, and measures 3.7m x .8m x .5m. The tallest stone, 3.2m to SW, stands 3.38m high and inclines towards E; at base it measures 1m x .6m (Ó Nualláin 1988, 239). A roughly circular enclosure occurs 3m SE of the stone row. This appears as a bank, internally stone-faced, which averages 1.25m wide and 1m high. It encloses an area measuring 4.28m N-S x 4.62m E-W. 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. 111.
