In rough pasture (78m OD), on a NW-facing slope. Located c. 8m to E of trackway and c. 75m to S of R560. Excellent views of Brandon Mountain range, Brandon Bay and Maharee Islands NW-> N->NE; Overlooked by Slievanea mountain to SW. A small and inconspicuous earthfast stone protruding above ground level. It is a smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 0.75m NW-SE; 0.68m NE-SW; max. H 0.30m) with a subtriangular decorated surface (dims. 0.50m NW-SE; 0.25m NE-SW) having a WSW-facing aspect. There are two motifs c. 12cm apart and separated by a narrow fracture. The decorative elements consist of a cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 16cm; ring Wth 2.5cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 10cm; D 14mm) at NW and a second cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 13cm; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 2-3mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 11mm) at SE, which is very faint. Initially identified as rock art by Micheal Ó Coileáin, Heritage Officer, Kerry County Council in his unpublished MA thesis (2006).
