Stone rows, alignments of two or more upright stones set deliberately in sequence, are found across Ireland and Britain and are generally attributed to the Bronze Age, though their precise purpose remains genuinely unresolved. What makes the Kippagh example quietly interesting is its condition as recorded: when surveyed in 1986, only the central stone of the three was still standing, leaving the alignment's full form to be read partly from what had fallen.

The row runs north to south and measures 5.1 metres from end to end. The southernmost stone is the tallest, standing 1.75 metres high and 1.1 metres long, set 0.9 metres south of the central stone. The central stone reaches 1.3 metres in height. The northern stone, at 1 metre high and 0.7 metres long, stood 1.1 metres north of the erect stones when recorded, suggesting it had toppled or shifted from its original position. The details were documented by Seán Ó Nualláin in 1988, part of his systematic work cataloguing stone rows across the country, a body of research that brought dozens of such sites into clearer scholarly focus.
