The stone itself is modest, just under a metre tall and roughly a metre long, irregular in plan with its long axis oriented northwest to southeast. It is not a dramatic monolith, and that is partly what makes it worth attention.

Within a short distance of this stone stand two further features: a cashel, which is a stone-walled ringfort typical of early medieval Ireland, lying roughly 55 metres to the southwest, and a second standing stone approximately 19 metres to the northeast. The clustering of a standing stone or stones alongside a cashel is not unusual in Mid Cork, but the proximity here is close enough to invite questions about how these features related to one another across time, given that standing stones generally belong to the Bronze Age while cashels are associated with the early medieval period. Whether any connection was intentional, or whether the cashel was built near an already ancient stone, is the kind of question the ground itself does not answer.
