What is known amounts to a handful of measurements and a compass bearing: the structure runs roughly northwest to southeast, stretches about 2.3 metres in length, and spans around 1.2 metres in width. For a monument that may be thousands of years old, that is a remarkably thin file.

Megalithic tombs are ancient stone burial structures, typically dating from the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, and they appear across Ireland in a variety of forms, from the grand portal tombs of the north to the wedge tombs that cluster in particular density across Munster, including Kerry. The northwest to southeast orientation noted at this site is worth pausing on. Alignment was rarely incidental in megalithic construction; many such structures were positioned in relation to sunrise, sunset, or the movements of the moon at particular times of year. Whether that applies here remains unresolved. The record, such as it is, was noted in December 2006, based on information supplied by a Stephen Clarke, with no further detail added since.
