Each slab is roughly a metre long and protrudes only about thirty centimetres above the sod, giving the group an almost submerged quality, as though the land is slowly reclaiming whatever intention lay behind them. It is the arrangement that catches the attention: not a straight row, not a circle, but a curve that suggests deliberate design without offering any obvious explanation for it.

The site is classified simply as an anomalous stone group, a designation that is itself telling. In the archaeology of Cork and the wider Irish landscape, upright stone settings are generally understood as markers, ritual features, or boundaries, but this particular configuration does not fit neatly into any recognised category. Its proximity to the children's burial ground nearby adds a layer of quiet complexity. Such burial grounds, known in Irish as cilliní, were used historically for the interment of unbaptised infants and others excluded from consecrated ground, and they are frequently located at or near earlier prehistoric features. Whether the stones predate the burial ground, relate to it, or occupy the same ground for entirely unconnected reasons is not recorded.
