The site is tentatively identified as a stone circle, though the evidence has been complicated by centuries of disturbance, not least by people who overturned the stones in search of buried gold.

The Kerry Field Club's minutes, cited by O'Hare in 1996, record that members once identified the site as a stone circle with several gallauns, the Irish term for large standing stones, including two prominent examples set apart to the east and west. By 1941, when the relevant volume of minutes was compiled, the site had already been disturbed, the stones overturned by treasure-seekers. When researcher O'Hare visited in April 1990, the landowner recalled seeing one large stone with six or seven smaller stones arranged in a circle to its east. By then, that arrangement was largely gone. What remained was the single upright sandstone, a gap between it and a field fence filled with stones apparently cleared from elsewhere, and a further jumble of stones about 28 metres to the east. Two metres south of that eastern cluster stands a second, smaller sandstone, roughly square in section and measuring 70 centimetres in height. Whether these eastern stones were ever part of the original monument, or are simply the residue of agricultural field clearance, cannot be determined. The exact original location of the site was never formally recorded, so even its placement within the townland rests partly on the landowner's recollection. Despite all this, two upright stones remained clearly visible in aerial imagery captured in 2013, suggesting the site retains at least a physical presence. The field slopes away to the north and south, and from it the Paps mountains are visible to the southeast, a pair of rounded hills long associated with ancient ritual landscape in Kerry.
