It lies flat on the ground, nearly three metres long and almost a metre and a half wide, its bulk a reminder that what looks like a simple field monument was once a considered act of deliberate placement. Its companion remains upright, 1.3 metres to the northeast, considerably smaller at 1.4 metres high. Together, they would originally have been aligned along a NNE-SSW axis, a type of orientation seen in paired standing stones across Cork and Kerry, sometimes linked to solar or lunar sight lines, though no single explanation has ever fully satisfied archaeologists.

The site sits on a level shoulder of a gently west-facing slope at Kinneigh in County Cork. The pairing itself is unusual enough, but the immediate surroundings add further layers of uncertainty. Around 50 metres to the southwest lies what has been described as a cist-like feature, a cist being a small stone-lined box or chamber, often associated with prehistoric burial. Here, however, the feature is represented by a single slab appearing to rest on an upright, and its precise nature remains unclear. Whether it is a collapsed burial structure, a natural arrangement of stone, or something else entirely has not been resolved. A further standing stone lies approximately 150 metres to the southeast, raising the possibility that this part of Kinneigh once formed a more extensive prehistoric landscape than any single monument suggests.

The three features, the fallen and erect pair, the ambiguous cist-like slab, and the solitary stone to the southeast, are close enough to one another that a careful walk across the ground would take in all of them. The prostrate stone, given its dimensions, is unlikely to be missed, though the smaller upright and the cist-like feature would reward a slower approach and some patience in reading the terrain.
