The stone itself is not especially large, measuring roughly 1.6 metres north to south and two metres east to west, and it rises no higher than 0.70 metres at its tallest point. What makes it unusual is partly what it carries and partly what obscures it: a second, considerably larger sandstone boulder leans against it at an angle, pressing close enough that the gap between the two is too narrow to properly examine or measure the decorated faces beneath. The carvings that can be confirmed include cupmarks, a form of prehistoric rock art consisting of shallow, roughly circular depressions ground or pecked into the stone surface, whose precise purpose and meaning remain debated. On the flat upper surface, a single cupmark, 6.5 centimetres in diameter and just 5 millimetres deep, sits within a small area of worked stone.

The site lies at around 44 metres above sea level on a south-east-facing slope in the area known as Doire Fhionáin Beag, with Cahernageeha Mountain visible to the north and the stone fort of Caherdaniel to the east. It was first identified as rock art by Aoibheann Lambe in 2015, which means it entered the archaeological record comparatively recently. The landscape here is layered with monuments across different periods, and the positioning of this stone, with its broad sightlines to mountain and fort alike, fits a pattern seen at other Irish rock art sites where elevation and visibility seem to have mattered to whoever made the marks. Whether the relationship between the leaning boulder and the carved stone is ancient or incidental is not something the current evidence can answer.
