The fracture runs vertically through one of the quartz veins that streak the rock, as though the stone simply decided, at some point across the millennia, to come apart along its most obvious fault line. It stands about 1.48 metres tall in level pasture in Tooreennaguppoge, Co. Cork, subrectangular in plan and oriented east to west, the two halves still close enough together that the original form remains legible.

What makes the site stranger still is that this stone was never alone. A researcher named Bowman, writing in 1934, recorded four stones in the immediate area. The split stone he labelled stone (b); stone (a), still standing, sits roughly 22 metres to the west-northwest. The other two, stones (c) and (d), were already recumbent by Bowman's time, lying flat on the ground and measurable in feet and inches. Stone (c) lay about seven yards north of stone (a), and stone (d) a further seven feet to the east of that. Neither has any visible surface trace today, swallowed by pasture or shifted entirely. The grouping suggests this may originally have been a more substantial prehistoric arrangement, though its precise nature and date remain unclear. The site went unrecorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of both 1842 and 1904, meaning it slipped past the Victorian surveyors entirely and entered the archaeological record only through Bowman's fieldwork.
