Two of them have fallen and now rest flat on the ground, reducing what was once an upright alignment to something easy to miss among the trees. The row runs roughly northeast to southwest and stretches 5.7 metres in total, which gives a sense of how modest the whole thing is, at least by the standards of more celebrated prehistoric monuments.

Stone rows are a feature of the Irish Bronze Age landscape, particularly in Munster, and are thought to date from roughly 2000 to 500 BC, though their precise purpose remains debated. They may have served as ceremonial markers, astronomical alignments, or territorial boundaries, and in many cases they appear to have been positioned deliberately in relation to the surrounding topography. This one overlooks a river headwater, which fits a pattern seen elsewhere. When Crowley recorded the site in 1977, all three stones were still standing, though the central one was already leaning to the northwest. Since then, that central stone and the northeast stone have both gone down. The southwest stone, the largest of the three at 1.4 metres long, remains upright. All three would have stood to roughly the same height of 1.45 metres when erect, suggesting a deliberate uniformity in how they were selected or shaped.
