Two standing stones, set 22.4m apart NE-SW, are located in pasture on the lower W slopes of Foilclogh Mountain. The site overlooks Portmagee Channel to NW. The larger stone, at SW, is 3.65m high and measures 1.45m x .3m at base. It tapers appreciably along one edge to a width of .5m at the top; NE-SW. Macalister believed that this stone bore an ogham inscription, but he later withdrew this suggestion (1945, 232).
Two low boulders located 3m to the SW measure .6m x .3m and 1m x .9m; their longer axes are aligned NE-SW.
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. 196. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
