It is not a dramatic standing stone or a roofless ruin. It is simply a rock, roughly a metre high at its tallest point, with a surface worked by hands whose intentions remain opaque, now blurred further by weather and lichen.

The stone measures approximately 1.35 metres north to south and 1.90 metres east to west, with its decorated face oriented towards the south-west, looking out roughly in the direction of the bay. The carvings belong to the tradition of prehistoric rock art found across Atlantic Europe, most likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Cup-and-ring marks, the most common motif in this tradition, are shallow circular depressions, the cup, surrounded by one or more incised rings carved into the rock surface. On this stone, two complete cup-and-ring motifs are present, one roughly central and one towards the north-west of the decorated area, along with two further examples where the ring is only partially rendered, running along the northern margin. Five plain cupmarks are scattered across the surface, and one of these has a short radial groove extending from it. Most unusually, a long linear groove bisects the entire decorated face on an east-west axis, though it is interrupted by a gap of about ten centimetres before resuming. Whether this groove is contemporary with the cup-marks or a later addition is not recorded. The site was first identified as rock art by A. Lambe in 2016, making it a comparatively recent addition to the known corpus of such monuments in Kerry.

The stone sits at around 69 metres above sea level in what is now working farmland, surrounded by occasional earthfast boulders, with open views in most directions. The decorated surface faces south-west, which means the low light of a winter afternoon, raking across the stone at a shallow angle, is generally the best condition for picking out the shallow carvings beneath their coating of lichen.
