The motifs, cup-and-ring marks and cup-and-two-ring marks carved directly into bedrock, are a form of rock art found across Atlantic Europe and dating broadly to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. A cup mark is simply a circular hollow ground into the stone surface; rings are concentric arcs cut around it. Two of the cup-and-two-ring examples at this site are conjoined, meaning their rings overlap or share a boundary, a detail noted in 1973 by Finlay and repeated in subsequent surveys. Nobody now knows exactly where on the outcrop the carvings sit.

The site occupies a gently east-facing slope at 183 metres above sea level, looking out over the Kealduff River valley to the north-east on the Iveragh Peninsula. A drystone wall field boundary runs roughly two metres to the north of the outcrop, and the surrounding land is rough pasture. When Finlay documented the carvings in 1973, enough of the rock surface was exposed for the motifs to be recorded and sketched. By the time O'Sullivan and Sheehan surveyed the peninsula for their 1996 Cork University Press archaeological survey, the outcrop was described as peat-covered except for one exposed section on the western slope. At some point after that, even that section was lost to encroaching vegetation, and the precise location of the carvings became unknown.

What remains is a site that is, in a very literal sense, invisible. The outcrop itself can be located, close to the field wall on that east-facing slope above the Kealduff valley, but the carved surface beneath the turf cannot currently be identified without disturbing the ground cover. It is an unusual situation: the rock art is not lost or destroyed, simply buried under a few centimetres of living material, waiting for a dry season or a careful hand to reveal it again.
