It measures only about 1.5 metres in diameter, it has no confirmed date, and it does not appear on any historical Ordnance Survey mapping. It is, in the precise language of the record, anomalous, which in archaeological terms means something was noticed, noted down, and filed under questions that remain open.

The stone setting was identified in 1987 by Rose Cleary of University College Cork, during what appears to have been a field survey of the area. Cleary recorded a roughly circular arrangement of stones on rough pasture ground, set into a slope with wide views across the River Shannon estuary to the north and across the surrounding landscape from north-east to south. A circular stone setting of this kind might, in other contexts, suggest a kerbed cairn, a ring cairn, or some form of low enclosure, though none of those identifications could be confirmed here. The official record describes it only as a potential monument of unknown date. What Cleary observed in 1987 is, in any case, no longer straightforwardly visible. Aerial photography from Digital Globe taken between 2011 and 2013, along with Google Earth imagery from 2018, shows that the area where the stones were recorded has since been incorporated into the rear garden of a modern house.

For anyone attempting to locate this site, the practical situation is fairly discouraging. There are no surface remains visible above ground, and the land is now private garden rather than open pasture. The record was compiled by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly and uploaded to the national monuments database in June 2020, which is likely where most people will encounter it. The value here is less in visiting than in what the record itself represents: a small, unresolved observation about something that was arranged by human hands, or possibly not, on a hillside above the Shannon, and which the landscape has since quietly absorbed.
