The stones are clearly megalithic in scale and arrangement, suggesting the remains of a prehistoric tomb, but the structure is too fragmentary and disturbed to be assigned to any recognised category with confidence. That ambiguity is itself unusual: most megalithic tombs in Ireland, even ruinous ones, can be broadly placed within established types such as portal tombs, court tombs, or passage tombs. This one cannot.

Spread across an area of roughly ten metres on a northeast to southwest axis and five metres across, the remains consist of several distinct groupings. Two large boulders stand close together near a north to south field fence, and one of them has been partly absorbed into the fence itself, the kind of pragmatic stone-robbing that quietly erased so many ancient structures across the Irish countryside. A third large upright stands about four metres to the southwest, and a cluster of three further stones lies some four and a half metres to the northwest of the pair, two of them aligned on a northwest to southeast axis with a third set perpendicular. What these groupings once formed, whether a collapsed chamber, a ruined passage, or something else entirely, remains uncertain. Notably, the site does not appear on either the 1838 or 1920 Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, meaning it escaped official cartographic notice for well over a century, recorded only in more recent archaeological survey work.
