Each one is a boulder-burial, a prehistoric monument type in which a large capstone is raised above the ground on one or more smaller support stones, creating a low, table-like structure thought to mark a place of burial or ritual significance. This particular example, the most southerly of the three, consists of a boulder measuring up to 1.5 metres across, resting on at least one support stone that is partly swallowed by accumulated peat.

The three monuments are clustered tightly together, with the other two standing just 1.5 metres to the north and 1 metre to the west. What makes the group at Uragh more than a curiosity is its immediate setting: a multiple-stone circle lies roughly 10 metres to the northeast. Stone circles and boulder-burials are both associated with Bronze Age funerary and ceremonial practice in south-west Ireland, and finding them in such close proximity suggests this small patch of ground once held some sustained or repeated significance for the communities who shaped it. The site was recorded by Twohig in 1987, and the grouping at Uragh forms part of a wider concentration of prehistoric monuments in this corner of County Kerry.
