They sit on the north-western slopes of Rock Hill, above the Clyda River valley near Knockantota, aligned along a north-east to south-west axis, as so many prehistoric stone pairs in Munster tend to be. The alignment is precise enough to suggest intention, though what exactly was intended, whether marking a solar or lunar event, delineating territory, or serving some ritual purpose long since unreadable, remains genuinely unknown.

The stones are modest in scale but carefully placed. The north-eastern stone stands 1.4 metres high and roughly 0.45 metres in both length and thickness; its south-western companion is slightly larger, at 1.55 metres high and 0.55 metres long. They stand 1.6 metres apart, giving an overall span of 2.9 metres. What makes the site particularly interesting is what lies close by: ten metres to the south-south-east, researchers have identified what may be a five-stone circle, a type of small stone arrangement found predominantly in Cork and Kerry, typically consisting of four upright stones with a recumbent, or flat-lying, stone on one side. The possible relationship between the pair and this nearby circle is not fully understood, but their proximity suggests the area was a focus of prehistoric activity. The site was catalogued by Seán Ó Nualláin in 1988, as part of his systematic survey of stone rows and pairs across Ireland.

The stones sit within forestry, which means the approach and visibility can vary depending on planting cycles and ground clearance. Anyone visiting should be prepared for uneven terrain and potentially dense cover, with the stones easy to pass without noticing unless you know roughly where to look on the eastern side of the valley.
