They radiate outward from a centre point, averaging about half a metre in height, enclosing a roughly circular area just under six metres across. The form itself is rare. Where most prehistoric stone monuments in Ireland present an unbroken ring or a linear alignment, this one uses its stones like spokes, and gaps between them hint at something more substantial that once stood here: fragments of dry-stone walling are still visible between the radials, suggesting the enclosure was originally more solid than the open frame it appears today.

The site was documented by Seán Ó Nualláin in 1984, and it belongs to a small cluster of monuments concentrated in this part of mid Cork. A standing stone rises 3.5 metres to the north-east of the enclosure, and a fallen slab measuring 2.1 metres lies just 1.5 metres to the east; six further prostrate slabs are scattered to the west and south-west. Seven metres to the north, a five-stone circle, the compact monument type characteristic of the Cork and Kerry tradition, sits within the same complex. Five-stone circles typically consist of four upright stones with a recumbent slab placed between the two tallest, and they are generally understood to date from the Bronze Age. The relationship between the radial enclosure and the stone circle here is not fully understood, but their proximity suggests this platform served as a focal point for ceremonial or communal activity over a considerable period.

The scatter of fallen and displaced stones across the interior and surroundings makes the site look, at first glance, like any tumbled field boundary. Only when you read the geometry of the surviving uprights does the deliberate arrangement become apparent.
