The two monuments at Bunbinnia sit quietly together overlooking Lough Reagh, beneath a steep northeast-facing rocky slope, forming a pairing that raises more questions than the landscape readily answers.

The standing stone itself is a substantial presence: just over two metres tall and tapering towards the top, irregular in plan rather than neatly squared, and orientated on a northeast-southwest axis. At its base, packing-stones are still visible, the small wedged fragments that were driven around the base when the stone was first raised to hold it upright, a detail that survives in the ground long after whoever set it there has been forgotten. Its neighbour to the north is an ogham stone, a type of monument inscribed with ogham, an early medieval script rendered as a series of notches and strokes cut along a central stemline, typically used to record personal names and ancestry in the Irish language. Whether the two stones were erected at the same time, or whether one predates the other by centuries, is not recorded. What remains is simply the fact of their proximity, the upright and the inscribed, sharing the same rough ground above the lough.
