The row stretches 6.7 metres in total, which is modest enough, but what makes it quietly peculiar is the way it tells its own story of survival and loss simply by the difference in scale between its stones. At the northeastern end, only stumps remain, the tallest barely 15 centimetres above ground. By the time you reach the southwestern end, the stones are standing upright and substantial, the last one reaching 1.45 metres in height and over a metre in thickness.

Stone rows, a form of prehistoric monument found across Ireland and Britain, are generally understood to date from the Bronze Age, though their precise purpose remains contested. Some are thought to have had astronomical alignments, others a ceremonial function connected to burial or landscape ritual. The northeast to southwest orientation of the Behagullane row is a relatively common alignment among Irish examples. The site appears in Seán Ó Nualláin's 1988 study of Irish stone rows, catalogued as number 117, though that earlier record did not note what is now apparent on the ground, that the two northeastern stones have been reduced to stumps, leaving only their bases exposed. The third stone, at 1.9 metres high, and the broad, low southwestern stone give a sense of what the full row may once have looked like. Adding further context to the site, a radial-stone cairn, a type of Bronze Age burial monument in which low stone divisions radiate outward from a central point like spokes, sits approximately 16 metres to the southeast, suggesting this corner of pasture once formed part of a wider ceremonial or funerary landscape.
