In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking Coomeelan stream. A large, mainly flat-topped, sandstone boulder (3.3m x 1.6m; H 0.55m) rests on at least three separate support-stones. The W side of the boulder is obscured by an upsloping peaty bank. The support under the SE corner consists of three stones set on top of each other, compensating for the downsloping ground. Two enclosures (KE102-041----, KE102-041001-) lie c. 5m to the W and c. 11m to the SW, respectively. A fulacht fia (KE102-041004-) lies c. 30m to the S and another enclosure (KE102-041003-) is c. 60m to the SW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
