They are not identical. The northern stone is squat, barely half a metre tall, and roughly circular when viewed from above. Its companion to the south stands three times as tall at one and a half metres, with an oblong, more upright form. Together they are aligned along a NNW-SSE axis, set 2.6 metres apart, a spacing that feels considered rather than incidental.

Paired standing stones are a recurring feature of the prehistoric Irish landscape, and their alignments are frequently thought to carry astronomical or territorial significance, though the evidence is rarely conclusive. What makes the Rosleague pair additionally interesting is a feature that no longer exists. An observer named Redington, writing in 1914, recorded a small enclosure on the eastern side of the taller southern stone. No visible trace of that structure survives today. Whether it was a low kerbed setting, a slight earthwork, or something else entirely is now difficult to say, but its disappearance in the century since Redington noted it is a reminder of how quickly such slight features can be lost to agriculture, weather, or simple time.
