No mounds, no kerbing, no trace of enclosure survives at ground level; just a single upright stone, roughly seventy centimetres tall and sixty centimetres wide, persisting in a field where the dead were once buried and their resting place has otherwise been entirely absorbed back into the landscape.

Standing stones of this kind were erected across Ireland at various points in prehistory, though they were also sometimes used in early medieval and later periods as boundary markers, memorial stones, or indicators of significant sites. Here, the stone appears to have served, or been repurposed, as a marker for a burial ground, and it is recorded in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, Volume 3, published in 1997. That volume catalogues the stone alongside the graveyard it once signalled, though the graveyard itself has left no visible surface trace whatsoever. The stone, then, is doing double duty: it is both an artefact in its own right and the sole surviving evidence that a place of burial ever existed here at all.
