Scheduled for inclusion in the next revision of the RMP: Yes

Description: In improved pasture (21m OD), upon a low lying area, at base of a S-facing slope; Stream is c. 75m to S. In valley of River Maine with excellent views of Gap of Dunloe to S and MacGillycuddy's Reeks to SW. A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 3.6m E-W; 1.2m N-S) which is irregular in plan and is just above the existing ground level. It has a subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.55m E-W; 0.7m N-S) which is generally flat with a very slight N-facing tilt.
