Boulder-burials are among the more understated prehistoric monument types found in Ireland, consisting of a substantial capstone raised only slightly off the ground by low support stones, in contrast to the taller, more dramatic portal tombs that tend to attract attention. This one measures 1.6 metres by 1.35 metres, with the flat-topped subrectangular slab sitting just 0.2 metres above the ground on two support stones along its southern side.

The monument sits on a level patch of ground roughly 30 metres from the eastern shore of Coomclogherane Lake, positioned at the western foot of the steep slope that rises up Gullaba Hill. The setting is typical of the region, where prehistoric communities placed their funerary monuments in landscape positions that feel deliberate, often near water or on the edges of rising ground. A possible third support-stone may lie beneath the north-western corner of the slab, though peat has built up over the ground there and obscures a clear view. The monument sits within a separate enclosure, suggesting this small corner of Kerry hillside was marked out and purposeful long before the surrounding land became rough pasture.
