These standing stones, positioned just 0.9 metres apart, are aligned roughly northeast to southwest, though their long axes are slightly out of kilter with each other. The northeastern stone rises 1.25 metres high and measures 1.5 metres wide and 0.9 metres thick, whilst its southwestern companion stands taller at 1.6 metres, spanning 1.2 metres in width but only 0.6 metres in thickness.

Historical records suggest this site once held greater significance; in 1889, antiquarian Kinahan documented three stones at this location, though today only the pair remains visible with no trace of the third. The stones have been catalogued as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, which documented field antiquities from the Mesolithic Period through to the 17th century, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983.

Despite their imposing presence and historical documentation, archaeological testing conducted in 2005 under excavation licence 05E0980 yielded no finds of archaeological interest near the stone pair. Led by David Sweetman of Roestown, Drumree, County Meath, the pre-development testing was carried out close to what’s officially designated as SMR 36:27, suggesting that whilst these stones remain an intriguing feature of the landscape, their original purpose and the activities that may have surrounded them remain a mystery.
