Local knowledge holds that the alignment gestures northward toward Mauherslieve, the peak known as Mother Mountain, and the broader Slieve Felim range beyond it. Whether that orientation was deliberate or coincidental is precisely the kind of question prehistoric monuments tend to leave unanswered, and this one is no exception.

The row sits on a small plateau partway up a hillock in the townland of Lackanagoneeny, with the valley of the Aughvaria River visible to the north and the Gortnageragh River to the south. The three stones are not uniform: the northernmost is the tallest at around two metres, the middle stone leans noticeably westward and stands about one and a half metres, and the southern stone, at roughly one point seven metres, falls between the two. All three carry milky quartz inclusions, small crystalline traces running through the rock that in prehistoric contexts are often associated with ritual significance, quartz having been deliberately used at burial and ceremonial sites across Ireland. Small boulders cluster around the base of the row. Approximately ten metres to the south-east, a fourth standing stone sits out of alignment with the others; its relationship to the row is uncertain, though it may function as an outlier, a separate marker sometimes set apart from an alignment to extend or anchor it. A barrow, a low earthen burial mound of likely prehistoric origin, lies about twenty-five metres to the south-east as well, suggesting the wider landscape here was once considered significant. The site does not appear on Ordnance Survey historic mapping, and was formally documented and compiled by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly, with the record uploaded in July 2020.

The monument sits in pasture, so access depends on landowner permission and conditions underfoot will vary with the season; drier months make the approach across the hillside considerably easier. The stones are visible on aerial imagery and are known locally as The Three Stones, which at least means asking directions is straightforward. Once you are on the plateau, the lean of the middle stone is immediately apparent, and it is worth pausing to look northward along the axis toward the Slieve Felim hills to gauge whether the alignment feels accidental or purposeful.
