It lies flat on the ground, measuring 1.9 metres in length, its original upright position betrayed only by the basal-packing stones, small rocks wedged around a standing stone's base to hold it steady, that once kept it in place. Its companion to the south still stands at 1.8 metres, worn and subrectangular in shape, the pair of them separated by roughly 2.2 metres of open grassland on a gentle rise in the landscape.

What makes this site quietly curious is the gap between what was recorded and what survives. When the Ordnance Survey mapped the area for the third edition of its six-inch map in 1920, three dots were marked in a northeast to southwest alignment. Today only two slabs are accounted for; whether the third has vanished into the ground, been removed, or was misread from the outset is unclear. The stones themselves are heavily eroded limestone, which is typical of the Galway landscape where exposed karst weathers readily over centuries. Paired standing stones of this kind are a relatively rare monument type in Ireland, distinct from the more common solitary standing stone, and their original purpose remains contested. Ritual, boundary-marking, and astronomical alignment have all been proposed, and none convincingly ruled out. Roughly 325 metres to the south lies a further unclassified stone structure, its relationship to the standing stones unresolved.
