What makes the grouping unusual is not simply their age but the density and variety of carving concentrated on so few stones. One face alone carries a triple-barred cross whose shaft and upper bar intersect within an outline lozenge shape, with bifurcated terminals, hook-like flourishes, and outline triangles marking each arm differently. These are not rough incisions but considered compositions, each element of the cross given its own distinct treatment.

The enclosure itself is sub-rectangular and sits on a gently sloping hillside with clear views in most directions. Within it are the remains of an oratory, a second building that may have been a church, and two possible hut sites, suggesting a small community of early monks once occupied the place. The southernmost of the two standing pillars reaches 1.58 metres in height; the northern one, slightly shorter at 1.52 metres, has broken across the top and carries four crosses stacked one above the other on its western face, the lowest of them still partly buried. A third carved stone is an oblong boulder, under half a metre across, bearing an equal-armed cross with T-bar terminals. The survey on which descriptions of the site are based was conducted by J. Cuppage and published in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, Corca Dhuibhne.

The site sits within a landscape that was densely settled in the early medieval period, and the Dingle Peninsula as a whole preserves an exceptional concentration of such monuments. The varied cross forms here, from the elaborately differentiated triple-barred design to the simpler Latin cross with scrolled base terminal, point to carving carried out across different periods or by different hands, the stones accumulating meaning over time rather than being produced as a matched set.
