This is not unusual in itself; prehistoric standing stones, erected anywhere from the Neolithic through to the early Bronze Age as markers, memorials, or ritual focal points, have been repurposed across Ireland for centuries, pressed into service as gateposts, lintels, and field dividers. What makes this particular stone worth a second look is what the furze growing behind it may be concealing: the visible top section of what appears to be a second stone, buried beneath the scrub.

The site sits on uneven, sloping terrain, and the principal stone appears to be sunk into the hillside itself, its base buried by the accumulated drift of the slope. Furze, the dense thorny shrub that colonises rough Irish ground and makes systematic survey work genuinely difficult, backs the stone and obscures whatever lies behind it. The possible second stone, if that is what it is, has not been excavated or confirmed; it remains a suggestion in the vegetation. Whether the two stones once formed part of a pair, an alignment, or something else entirely is an open question. Compiled observations from Jamie O'Sullivan note the arrangement as it stands, without drawing firm conclusions.
