Roughly oval in plan and measuring about 7.3 metres northwest to southeast by 4.8 metres northeast to southwest, it rises only 0.4 to 0.5 metres above the surrounding ground. What makes it quietly interesting is the combination of features that went into its making: a single course of low drystone walling along its northwestern side, built to a height of around 0.3 metres, and at the centre of that wall, a single upright orthostat, a deliberately placed standing stone slab, 0.6 metres high and aligned north to south. Around the eastern, western, and southern sides, the ground shows signs of deliberate scarping, where soil was cut away from the slope, most likely to create both the raised platform itself and a level terraced surface on which to build it.

The feature was identified in 2016 by John Cronin and Associates during pre-development survey work carried out ahead of a wind farm project by ESB Wind Development Ltd. in the area. Because it lay outside the development fence-line, it was recorded rather than disturbed. Its function remains uncertain. The platform may have served as the base for a small structure, with the low walling and orthostat forming part of a rudimentary wall foundation. Alternatively, and perhaps more prosaically, it could have been a drying platform for hay or turf, of the kind that rural communities in upland Kerry would have needed before reliable storage and mechanical drying were available. Similar features have been noted elsewhere in comparable landscape surveys, suggesting this was not an isolated solution to the practical problem of working wet ground on a hillside.
