What makes the grouping quietly odd is partly circumstantial: a field immediately to the north contains a series of small cairns in which graves have apparently been uncovered. The carved stones and the burial cairns share the same rough pasture, the same long view down into the Anascaul valley and out, through gaps in the coastal range, towards Dingle Bay and the Iveragh Peninsula. Whether the proximity was deliberate is unknown, but it is the kind of coincidence that tends to linger.

The carvings belong to a tradition of prehistoric rock art found widely across Ireland and Atlantic Europe, typically involving cup-marks, which are small, roughly circular hollows pecked into stone, sometimes surrounded by concentric rings to form cup-and-ring motifs. The largest of the three slabs here, measuring 1.5 metres by 1.2 metres and lying prostrate against a field fence, carries at least 23 plain cup-marks, three cup-and-circle motifs, and a more unusual feature: a cup-mark enclosed within a square, its eastern side formed by a natural fissure in the stone. Linear grooves further complicate the surface. A sketch made by the County Kerry Field Club in 1945 recorded circles enclosing most of the cup-marks, but no trace of those enclosing rings survives today. A second slab, cleared from the field and piled with other boulders some 35 metres to the south, has 27 cup-marks on its exposed face. A third, smaller boulder nearby carries a single possible cup-mark. J. Cuppage documented the site in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, and more recent fieldwork by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly recorded a sandstone surface at 77 metres above sea level with nineteen cup-marks and three cup-and-ring motifs, two of which have gapped rings, likely the result of weathering at this exposed upland location.

The stones sit in rough hill pasture, and sod and moss were already encroaching across portions of the decorated surfaces when the site was last formally recorded in 2017, obscuring carved elements that had been visible to earlier surveyors. The motifs most clearly seen face south, flush with the slope of the hillside, which itself looks out over the valley. What was already a weathered and fragmentary record is, slowly, becoming more so.
