Measuring roughly 0.8 metres by 0.6 metres and standing only 0.65 metres above ground, it is modest by any standard, and its classification as a standing stone remains tentative. What lifts it out of the ordinary is its relationship to a second stone nearby, and the quiet accumulation of prehistoric activity in this small corner of a west-facing slope.

The two stones were recorded by Bowman in 2000, who noted them as a pair of dallans on land then known locally as Mrs. O'Brien's in Kilroe. A dallan is an early Irish term sometimes applied to small standing stones or marker stones, occasionally associated with grave sites or territorial boundaries. Bowman recorded them as standing roughly 20 metres apart, oriented north-east to south-west, and described the stone in question as measuring about 2 feet 10 inches by 6 feet 7 inches in girth. The orientation east to west noted in the more recent description introduces a slight discrepancy, the kind of small inconsistency that tends to accumulate around sites that have been observed informally over generations. Roughly 24 metres to the west lies a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site typically identified by a mound of fire-cracked stone, often found near a water source and associated with Bronze Age activity. The proximity of a possible standing stone pair to a fulacht fia is not unusual in the Irish landscape, but it does suggest this slope was in use and perhaps meaningful to its inhabitants for a long period.
