The slab is substantial, measuring 2.45 metres long, 1.2 metres wide, and 0.15 metres thick, large enough to have marked a significant grave. A second slab of similar dimensions lies roughly ten metres to the north. Both are unfinished, their surfaces rough, their purpose unfulfilled.

The Burren's exposed karst landscape, where bare limestone pavement sits close to the surface in great flat sheets, made this kind of small-scale quarrying entirely practical. The same stone that forms the ground underfoot could be worked directly into slabs for architectural or funerary use. At a site roughly 500 metres to the north, a further group of unfinished slabs were quarried out in the same fashion. One of those slabs carries an 18th-century inscription, suggesting that this cluster of sites represents a working tradition that continued at least into that period, even if some of the material was never transported from the quarry at all. What remains at Fahee is, in effect, a snapshot of a craft interrupted, slabs prepared, and then left in place for reasons that are no longer recoverable.
