Positioned just north of where the Laney and Sullane Rivers meet, they are the surviving remnants of a prehistoric stone row, a type of monument in which three or more upright stones are set in a deliberate line, found with some frequency across the Cork and Kerry landscape. What makes this particular example quietly interesting is what is missing: originally a row of three, only two stones now remain upright, with evidence suggesting a third once stood further to the south-west.

The two survivors are set 3.75 metres apart, giving the row an overall projected length of 6.3 metres. They are not matched in scale. The north-east stone is relatively modest, roughly 1.1 metres high, while the south-west stone rises to 2.45 metres, nearly two and a half times the height of its companion. This gradation in height, with the taller stone at the south-west end, is a pattern noted across many Cork stone rows and has prompted considerable speculation about whether the alignment carried astronomical or ritual significance. The row is oriented ENE to WSW. The site was catalogued by Seán Ó Nualláin in 1988, whose systematic survey of stone rows across Munster remains a foundational reference for understanding these monuments in their regional context.
