Stone rows, a category of monument found across upland Cork and Kerry in particular, are exactly what the name suggests: standing stones arranged in a line, almost always oriented along a specific compass bearing. This one runs ENE to WSW, a direction shared by many such rows in the region, though its intended purpose remains a matter of scholarly debate, with astronomical alignment, territorial marking, and ritual use all proposed at various points.

The monument is a probable three-stone row, as classified by researcher Seán Ó Nualláin, who catalogued it in 1988. The northeasternmost stone is no longer upright; it lies prostrate, measuring 4.1 metres in length and about 0.7 metres wide, with a thickness of roughly half a metre. It is the largest of the three, and its fallen state gives some sense of the original ambition of the structure. Some 3.4 metres to the west, the remaining pair still stand. The taller of the two reaches 1.95 metres in height, relatively modest but still commanding in a forest setting, while its neighbour to the WSW stands only 0.4 metres, with what appears to be a broken top. The two upright stones together span just 2 metres. Whether the short second stone was always this low or has been reduced by damage or subsidence over the millennia is not entirely clear, though the broken appearance of its upper edge suggests the latter is at least plausible.
