Unlike the tidy stone circles or solitary standing stones that draw visitors to more celebrated sites, this complex resists easy categorisation, which may partly explain why it attracts so little attention. The terrain is uneven, with natural rock outcrop breaking the surface throughout, making it genuinely difficult at times to distinguish deliberate human arrangement from the landscape's own geological restlessness.

The Ikerrin Survey once mapped as many as 245 standing stones here, along with five cairns, the latter being low mounded structures typically covering prehistoric burials or marking territory. By the time that survey was published, 70 of the standing stones had already been removed, and the cairns too have since disappeared entirely. At least 121 stones now survive, of which 93 remain upright and 28 have fallen. Many of these are strikingly modest in scale, some standing no higher than 0.3 to 0.8 metres, barely clearing the ground. The site lies on land that belonged to the Hutchinson family, later the Parker-Hutchinsons, whose estate house, Timoney Park House, stood roughly a kilometre to the north. Whether the estate's history of land management accelerated the removal of stones is not recorded, but the attrition is significant: the site once held roughly twice what remains today.

Visitors should be aware that gorse, the dense, spiny shrub that colonises unmanaged hillland throughout Ireland, covers parts of the site heavily enough to obscure stones entirely in at least one field. The count of surviving stones may therefore be higher than current figures suggest. Going in late winter or early spring, before the gorse is in full growth, gives the clearest chance of seeing how the stones are actually distributed across the slope.
