This broken trapezoidal slab is now in the church (KE098-039001-). Its upper surface is polished and the slab measures .34m in maximum width, tapering to .29m at its foot; it is 1.58m long and averages .05m thick. The shaft of an outline Latin cross, set within an angular two-line frame, carries a partially defaced inscription. Macalister (1949, 98) read this as:
BENNACHT F(or) ANMAIN GILLE IN
CHOMDED I BUICINE ADBUR RI CIARRAIDI
The inscription is preceded by a minute initial cross disposed within an incised lozenge.
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 974. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
