What makes it particularly interesting is not just the stone itself but its position within a small cluster of prehistoric monuments: it sits roughly 60 to 70 metres north of a wedge-tomb, a type of megalithic burial monument typically dating to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, and approximately 85 metres south of a second standing stone. Whether by design or coincidence, this middle stone occupies a corridor between the two, orientated on a northwest to southeast axis.

The stone was documented by Cuppage in 1986, who noted that its base measures between 0.35 and 0.44 metres thick, tapering toward the top in a way that gives it the gable profile. On its southwest face, two possible cup-marks are visible. Cup-marks are shallow, roughly circular depressions pecked into stone surfaces, found widely across prehistoric Europe, though their precise purpose remains debated; they may have had ritual, territorial, or astronomical significance, or some combination of all three. The word "possible" in the original description is worth noting: not every depression in an old stone is deliberate, and weathering over millennia can complicate the reading. Even so, the combination of the carved marks, the unusual shape, and the proximity to the wedge-tomb and its neighbouring standing stone suggests this was a meaningful part of a wider prehistoric arrangement in this corner of Kerry.
