A stone row, the term used for a deliberate linear arrangement of standing stones erected in prehistory, once stood here. Today there is nothing to see. The ground gives nothing away.

The earliest firm evidence for the site comes from the 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which marks three stones at this location. Stone rows of this kind are found across Cork and Kerry in some numbers, and their purpose remains genuinely unclear, with theories ranging from ceremonial and astronomical functions to boundary markers. Whatever this particular row once signified, it had apparently already been disturbed by the time later OS editions were produced, as the stones do not appear on them. P. J. Hartnett, writing in 1939, concluded that the stones had been removed during the nineteenth century, most likely cleared from the land as farming activity reshaped the field. It was a common enough fate for standing stones across Ireland, which were sometimes demolished as obstacles to ploughing or reused as building material.
