They are not dramatic in scale: the taller reaches 1.23 metres, the shorter 0.68 metres. What makes them quietly interesting is the gap between what different observers have seen here across the decades, and the question that gap leaves open.

The stones appear on the 1939 Ordnance Survey six-inch map labelled as 'Galláin', the Irish term for standing stones, and are shown as a pair. Yet when the archaeologist P. J. H. Hartnett recorded the site, he noted only a single stone, approximately two and a half feet in height. Whether one stone was obscured, fallen, or simply overlooked at the time of his visit is not clear. The designation 'anomalous stone group' reflects this unresolved character: the site does not fit neatly into the recognised categories of prehistoric stone arrangement, and the record of what is actually present has shifted between visits. The stones stand roughly 25 metres east of a nearby ringfort, one of the circular earthwork enclosures common across Ireland from the early medieval period, typically used as farmsteads. Whether the standing stones predate that structure, relate to it in some way, or are simply coincidental neighbours is not known.
