There are two pairs of stones at this site; one described as a standing stone pair and the other as an anomalous stone group:

Standing stone - pair, officially recorded as monument CO136-017001-

On sloping pasture c. 1km SW of mouth of Argideen river. Stones, aligned NNE-SSW, stand 2.2m apart. Overall length is 4.5m. NE stone is 0.55m L, 0.5m T and 1.2m H. SW stone is 1.8m L, 0.7m T and 2.65m H. Anamalous stone group (CO136-017002-) 48m to NNE. (O Nualláin 1988, 248, no. 139)

+

Anomalous stone group, officially recorded as monument CO136-017002-

In pasture, on gentle NE-facing slope. Two stones standing 1.83m apart. Taller stone to W (H 1.63m; 1.07m x 0.65m); long axis NE-SW. Second stone (H 1.6m; 0.8m x 0.3m) leans heavily to SW. Stone pair (CO136-017001-) lies 44m to SW. According to local information, the group was accidentally knocked by machinery in 2017. The taller stone has fallen to the east and is practically recumbent resting slightly on the smaller stone.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
