They were not, in fact, originally arranged this way; they were gathered from various unrecorded locations in the surrounding area and repositioned here, which gives the site the slightly uncanny quality of an improvised museum that happens to sit outdoors on a Kerry hillside.

Ogham is an early medieval script, typically carved as a series of notches and strokes along the edge of a standing stone, used primarily to record personal names and lineage in an archaic form of Irish. The stone in question here, 1.1 metres long with a flattened upper surface, carries an inscription that reads N(E)TTA-LAMINACCA KO(I) MAQQI MUCOI DO(VINIAS), a formula typical of early ogham monuments in which a person is identified by name, patronymic, and tribal affiliation. The first E in the inscription is no longer physically traceable, though there is enough space on the stone where the relevant notches would have been cut. A final notch from the second I has also worn away, though earlier scholars recorded it. The scholar R.A.S. Macalister, writing in 1945, argued that despite these losses the inscription could largely be recovered. Adding a further layer of interest, the same stone carries a plain Latin cross incised on its upper face, with a natural fissure running down the centre that happens to extend the line of the cross's shaft, a coincidence that may or may not have been noticed by whoever carved it. The enclosure and old burial ground here are also associated with the site of Ballintaggart church, known in Irish as An Cheallúnach or An Lisín.

The nine stones are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure at the hillock's summit, making them relatively easy to view together in one visit. The site sits between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, and the prominence of the hillock means the enclosure is visible from some distance, even if the inscriptions themselves require close inspection to read.
