That detail alone says something about how casually the ancient and the agricultural can coexist in the Irish landscape, and about how easy it is to walk past a monument that was once, presumably, placed with considerable intention.

The pair are aligned on a northeast to southwest axis and stand 1.6 metres apart, with an overall length of 3.9 metres between their outer edges. The northeast stone, which leans slightly southward, rises to 2.7 metres; its southwest companion, leaning in the opposite direction as if the two are inclining towards each other across the gap, reaches 2.25 metres. Standing stones of this kind, erected during the Bronze Age, are relatively common across Munster, but paired examples with a clear alignment are less so, and this site sits within a wider prehistoric landscape. Roughly 300 metres to the north, on the same spur of the mountain, there is a stone row, a linear arrangement of three or more upright stones that archaeologists have long associated with ritual or ceremonial use, though their exact purpose remains a matter of debate. The proximity of the two monuments suggests this hillside was a place of some significance in the Bronze Age, even if the nature of that significance is now lost. The pair were catalogued by Seán Ó Nualláin in 1988, part of his systematic survey of Cork's prehistoric stone settings.

The site sits on the northeast spur of Bweengduff mountain, where the stones are now caught between the working landscape of a fence line and the edge of planted forest. The leaning of both stones, each tilting towards the other, may be the result of centuries of settling in upland ground, or it may reflect some original intention in how they were set. Either way, their incorporation into a fence has preserved them in a fashion, even if it has blurred the context in which they were first raised.
