It is only a possible standing stone, that qualifier doing quiet work; the category acknowledges that upright stones are not always what they seem, and that bogs have a way of tilting, shifting, and obscuring things over centuries. What gives this one some claim to the designation is its deliberate proportions, roughly a metre high, forty centimetres wide, and thirty centimetres thick, and the presence of quartz veins running through the rock. Quartz turns up with notable frequency at prehistoric ritual sites across Ireland, and its appearance here is at least suggestive.

The stone sits on the north bank of the Sruffaunnanoon river, close to the river's source, in a landscape that would have looked quite different to whoever, if anyone, placed it there. To the west, the Atlantic is visible on clear days, and the remnant of a small lake bed lies in the same direction. Bunowen Hill rises to the south-west. This combination of water, elevated ground, and long sightlines is a setting that recurs around prehistoric monuments in Ireland, though whether it reflects deliberate choice or simply the way people moved through and marked a working landscape is rarely possible to say with certainty. The stone came to formal attention through the observations of Helen Riekstiņš, whose notice of it prompted its documentation.

The stone lies within Letterfrack National Park, which means the surrounding terrain is accessible, though the bogland approach requires reasonable footwear. The lower section of the stone is obscured by heather growth, so what is visible above ground may not represent its full extent. It sits close to the source of the Sruffaunnanoon, so following the river upstream from lower ground is one way to orient yourself. The views west towards the ocean open up as you gain even a little elevation on Diamond Hill's flank.
