The Ordnance Survey mapped the site in 1842, again in 1903, and once more in 1940, each time recording it as a pair of standing stones. The third stone, it seems, escaped notice or was absorbed into the shadow of its neighbour. The result is a small group of uprights that has slipped quietly between categories, acknowledged on maps but never firmly named.

The three stones are all sandstone, and their arrangement rewards close attention. The south-eastern stone, at just over a metre tall, is irregular in plan with its long axis running roughly north-north-east to south-south-west. The stone to its north-north-west is slightly shorter and more rectangular, oriented east to west, with a third stone standing immediately to its west. The two principal stones, the south-eastern and the north-north-western, are well matched in size and splay outward from each other: they stand about 1.75 metres apart at their north-east ends and widen to roughly 2.4 metres apart at the south-west. That specific angling is what prompted the researcher Ó Nualláin to suggest, cautiously, that the arrangement might represent the back portion of a megalithic tomb, the kind of large prehistoric burial structure built from heavy upright stones capped with a roof slab, of which Ireland has many examples in varying states of survival and collapse. The suggestion remains tentative; the word "conceivably" carries weight here.
