This peculiar feature consists of two stones positioned at right angles to each other at the western edge of a stream. The larger stone, an upright slab oriented east-northeast to west-southwest, measures just over a metre in length and stands a metre tall, whilst its smaller companion sits low to the ground at the eastern end of the arrangement. First recorded on the 1834 Ordnance Survey map, the site curiously lost its name by the time of the 1848 revision, though the stones themselves were still marked.

The exact purpose of this artificial stone configuration remains unclear, despite various attempts at classification over the years. The larger upright slab, measuring 1.07 metres long, 20 centimetres thick and a metre high, dominates the arrangement, whilst the smaller stone, positioned just south of its eastern end, stretches a metre in length but rises only 30 centimetres from the ground. This unusual perpendicular arrangement has led to some confusion amongst researchers; notably, one survey in 1983 misidentified the site entirely, leading to an incorrect description that had to be later corrected.

The site has attracted scholarly attention since at least 1897, when it was documented by Borlase, and has since been included in various archaeological surveys and the official Record of Monuments and Places. Its inclusion in the Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland speaks to ongoing debates about its nature, though whether it represents a genuine megalithic structure, a later historical monument, or something else entirely continues to elude definitive explanation. What remains certain is that someone, at some point in the distant past, deliberately placed these stones in their curious configuration for reasons that may forever remain lost to time.
