Only the axial stone and its two flanking companions survive, the axial stone being the recumbent slab typically set opposite the entrance of a multiple-stone circle, aligned to mark astronomical events such as the setting of the moon. How many stones originally completed the ring is impossible to say.

The three surviving uprights range from 1 to 2.4 metres in length and stand between 1.3 and 1.6 metres high, each relatively slender at 0.25 to 0.3 metres thick. The site sits roughly 1.5 kilometres northeast of another multiple-stone circle in the same townland, suggesting this corner of west Cork was once a landscape dense with ceremonial or ritual monuments. Adding to that impression, a boulder-burial, a form of Bronze Age funerary monument in which a large capstone rests directly on the ground or on smaller supporting stones over a burial, lies approximately 250 metres to the south. The clustering of these features was noted by the archaeologist Seán Ó Nualláin in a 1984 study of Cork stone circles, which catalogued this example as number 20 in his survey.

The ridge position means the stones would have been visible across a wide stretch of the valley in their original form, and even in their reduced state they retain that quality of sitting against open sky rather than being enclosed by vegetation or development. The boulder-burial to the south is close enough that a careful walker could take in both sites in a single visit, though neither is formally managed or signposted, and the terrain around them is rough upland ground.
