The arrangement measures roughly four metres east to west and two metres north to south, defined on three of its four sides by prostrate, or lying flat, stones. It is the sort of feature that resists easy labelling, hence the designation "anomalous", a word that in archaeological recording tends to signal genuine uncertainty rather than false modesty.

What gives the site an additional layer of interest is what is no longer there. Local information holds that a flagstone once covered the feature and was removed at some point for use in road works, a fate that befell countless stones across rural Ireland during centuries of road-building and improvement. That missing capstone complicates any reading of the structure's original purpose. It sits within an ancient field system, which suggests the surrounding landscape was organised and worked at some point in the distant past, but whether the stone group predates that field system, formed part of it, or served some entirely separate function remains open. The three prostrate stones defining the rectangle could indicate the remnants of a small cist, a type of stone-lined grave box found across prehistoric Ireland, or something else entirely. Without the covering flagstone and without excavation, the question stays open.
