They are not simply lying where they fell. The arrangement is deliberate, the east-to-west alignment precise, and the whole row stretches roughly ten metres across the hilltop. One of the boulders has toppled flat, but the other three remain upright on their supports, one of them with its cradle of stones arranged so that a small chamber forms beneath it. This is a boulder-burial, a prehistoric monument type found mainly in Munster, in which a large capstone is set onto low support-stones rather than being embedded in the earth or raised high in the manner of a dolmen. The effect is something between a grave marker and a miniature megalithic table, low to the ground and easily missed until you are standing directly beside it.

The four monuments at Reardnogy More are documented together as a row, which is itself unusual. The gaps between the stones narrow slightly as you move westward, from 1.8 metres between the first and second, to 1.6 metres, to 1.4 metres between the third and fourth. Whether this gradation was intentional or simply reflects the practicalities of placing heavy stone on uneven ground is impossible to say now. What is clear is that the site was chosen with purpose. The hill commands extensive views in every direction, and to the south-south-west there is a possible stone circle site in the same upland landscape, suggesting this part of Tipperary was a focus for prehistoric ceremonial activity over a considerable period. The boulder-burial tradition is generally associated with the Bronze Age, though precise dating of individual sites remains difficult. The arrangement at Reardnogy More was noted by the archaeologist Rynne in 1969.

The site sits in genuinely mountainous terrain, and the elevation that makes it so atmospherically exposed also makes the approach demanding. The views that would have made this hilltop significant to its builders are still there, rolling out across the Tipperary uplands in every direction. The stones themselves are modest in scale individually, the largest measuring roughly two metres by one, but seen together as a deliberate row on the open summit, with each boulder balanced carefully on its smaller supports, the ensemble has a quiet purposefulness that larger and more visited monuments sometimes lose.
