The National Monuments Service's description
Set adjacent to the E wall of a house, in an area of rough pasture near the N bank of the Sullane River. Two upright stones, aligned ENE-WSW, stand 0.15m apart at the base and measure 0.85m in overall length. The ENE stone (0.45m x 0.2m; H 1.15m) leans slightly to the ENE. The upper portion of the WSW stone (0.25m x 0.12m; H 1.22m) abuts the rear wall of the house. The close setting of the two stones is not typical of this monument class and the possibility that they could be the last remains of some other monument type cannot be ruled out.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
