The site is classified as a possible five-stone circle, a type of small ceremonial monument particular to the Cork and Kerry region, typically consisting of five standing stones arranged in an arc or ring, with a low, flat axial stone set opposite two taller portal stones and flanked by two stones of intermediate height. Here, the axial stone and one flanking stone survive. The axial stone is modest, measuring roughly 0.65 metres long and 0.85 metres high, while the flanking stone beside it is slightly more substantial at 0.75 metres long and 1.2 metres high. Small as these dimensions are, the proportional relationship between the two stones is consistent with the known grammar of the five-stone form.

The site sits in a valley around fifty metres east of the headwater of the Clodagh river, a quietly specific detail that places it in the kind of low-lying, sheltered ground where prehistoric communities in the Cork uplands often chose to build. The main axis of the circle appears to have run east to west, which aligns with a pattern observed across many Cork stone circles, where the axial stone faces the rising or setting sun at particular points in the year. Whether that orientation was purely calendrical, ceremonial, or something else entirely is a question the two surviving stones cannot answer on their own. The other three stones of the original arrangement are no longer present, lost at some unknown point to field clearance, agricultural improvement, or simple time.
