The stones are set on edge rather than laid flat, but centuries of peat growth have reduced most of them to little more than suggestions, either fully concealed beneath the bog or just barely breaking the surface. Neither the 1837 nor the 1913 Ordnance Survey six-inch maps record this feature, which means it slipped past the detailed cartographic work of two separate eras without notice. That omission is not unusual for monuments in rough terrain, but it does underline how much of the Irish prehistoric landscape remains only partially legible, visible to those who already know where to look.

The row runs on a northeast to southwest axis and appears to connect two other prehistoric features in the same stretch of bog: an enclosure to the southwest and a possible stone circle to the northeast. Stone rows, which are found widely across Atlantic Europe and throughout Ireland, are alignments of upright stones whose original purpose remains debated, with theories ranging from processional routes to astronomical markers or territorial boundaries. What is particularly interesting about this example is the irregular spacing. At the southwestern end, near the enclosure, the stones are set between one and two metres apart. As the row approaches the stone circle, that spacing opens out to roughly ten metres before closing again on the far side of the circle to the northeast, where the alignment appears to continue for a further five metres or so. Whether this variation in spacing reflects a deliberate design, later disturbance, or simply the uneven survival of stones in a challenging environment is not clear.
