It sits, according to the archaeological record, on a north-facing slope now consumed by scrub, with no surface trace detectable. A standing stone is typically a single upright megalith, planted deliberately in the landscape during prehistory, often as a boundary marker, a ceremonial site, or a point of astronomical alignment. This one has effectively been swallowed by the land around it.

The site was catalogued in the 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, Volume 1: West Cork', published by the Stationery Office in Dublin in 1992, which systematically documented monuments across the region. That publication recorded the stone's location and orientation, though even at the time of cataloguing it had left nothing visible above ground. Whether it lies beneath accumulated vegetation, fallen and overgrown, or simply lost to the particular amnesia that scrubland performs on old stone, is not recorded.
