Locally they were called Geataí na Glóire, the Gates of Glory or Paradise, a name that suggests these upright slabs meant something more to the people who lived alongside them than simply ancient field markers. One of the stones now lies flat on the ground; the other stands at only 0.79 metres, apparently broken, with a loose fragment nearby that is likely the missing top section. When Macalister documented the site in 1898, that same southwest stone still reached 1.5 metres. The taller northeast stone, which Ó Nualláin recorded in 1978 at 2.2 metres high, has since fallen entirely.

The pair form the northernmost point of a loose constellation of megalithic monuments clustered at the southeastern corner of the townland, within half a kilometre of where the Milltown river meets Dingle Harbour. About 50 metres to the south lie two large recumbent stones, one of which carries rock art motifs on its upper surface. Roughly 30 metres further southwest stands Gallán na Cille Brice, another upright stone with its own designation, and a further standing stone sits about 250 metres south-southwest on the far side of the main road. The grouping was once larger. Macalister noted in 1898 that at least one other gallán, the Irish term for a standing stone, was demolished in the district when the present road was constructed in 1822. What survives today is already a reduced version of whatever arrangement was originally intended here, beside the harbour mouth, in the prehistoric period.
