It is not displayed or labelled; it simply forms part of the wall itself, as it presumably has for centuries, overlooking Dingle Bay from within the enclosure known as Caher Conor, or Cathair na gConchúrach in Irish.

A cashel is a stone-walled ringfort, and Cathair na gConchúrach is a sub-oval example, its enclosing wall sheltering five internal structures in varying states of preservation. When the site was first recorded in the nineteenth century, more structures were visible, and both the wall and the interior have changed considerably since then, through collapse, clearance, or simply the slow pressure of time and weather on a hillside site. The cross-inscribed slab sits at the east-south-east of that inner wall face. Equal-armed crosses of this kind, sometimes called Greek crosses, appear across early medieval Ireland, often in ecclesiastical or devotional contexts, though the precise date and purpose of this particular example remain unclear. The faintness of the carving means it could be overlooked entirely by anyone not specifically searching for it.
