On the lower SE side of Knag hill, overlooking Lough Currane to S, is a stone slab measuring 1.12m x .68m x .25m. It was uncovered in the late 1980s about 100m S of its present position at a depth of approximately four feet (1.2m) below ground level (local information). The decorated surface, which features some scratches made by the earth-moving machine on discovery, carries two cup-and-rings, a cup-and-penannular ring, seven cupmarks and a forked groove.
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. 372. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
