The other, considerably larger, has been lying on the moorland for who knows how long. That contrast, one upright and purposeful, one sprawled across the ground as though simply tired, gives the pair at Baurgorm an oddly lopsided quality that lingers once you know about it. Together they form what archaeologists classify as a paired standing stone monument, a type found with some regularity across Cork and Kerry, where two stones were deliberately set in alignment, apparently with astronomical or ceremonial intent.

The site occupies a small level patch of moorland on the north-eastern side of a saddle between Sprat Hill and Knockaveagh, a quietly dramatic upland setting. The surviving upright stone is aligned roughly north-north-east to south-south-west, standing 2.2 metres tall and relatively slender, about 0.45 metres thick. Its fallen companion to the south-west is a far more massive piece of stone, measuring 3.3 metres by 1.4 metres, though only 0.4 metres thick; it lies prostrate, likely toppled at some unknown point in the past. What makes the location particularly interesting is that a stone circle stands just 5.5 metres to the north, suggesting that this stretch of moorland was once a focus of deliberate, concentrated prehistoric activity rather than a place where monuments happened to accumulate by accident. The site was documented by Seán Ó Nualláin, whose surveys of Cork and Kerry stone rows and pairs in the 1980s remain foundational references for this type of monument.
