Whether it fell, was removed, or was never quite where the original surveyors believed it to be is not known. What remains is a single gallaun, the Irish term for a solitary upright standing stone, set in rough boggy pasture to the east of the Kealafreaghane river on the Iveragh Peninsula. It is a broad, low slab rather than a needle-like pillar, standing 1.54 metres high with a base measuring 1.77 metres across and just 0.35 metres deep, giving it a squat, almost hunched presence in the landscape.

The Iveragh Peninsula, the largest of the great southwestern fingers of Kerry, carries an unusually dense concentration of prehistoric monuments, and gallauns are among its most quietly persistent features. They were erected during the Bronze Age, though their precise purposes remain a matter of careful speculation: boundary markers, commemorative stones, waypoints on routes through difficult terrain, or elements of ritual landscapes. The two stones recorded on the first Ordnance Survey edition suggest this site may once have formed part of a more deliberate arrangement, possibly an alignment or a pair, though without the second stone the original intention is now impossible to read. The site was documented by Aidan O'Sullivan and Jerry Sheehan in their 1996 archaeological survey of South Kerry, published by Cork University Press, which remains the foundational reference for the peninsula's field monuments.
