On level rough grazing, scrub and exposed limestone pavement with higher ground to the W. This is the southernmost of an alignment (SE-NW) of four penitential stations (along with CL010-026004-; CL010-026005- and CL010-026006-) with the closest (CL010-026004-) located c. 8m to the NW.
A tall, roughly circular drystone cairn (H 1.6-2m; diam. c. 2.2m) supports an upright flag, aligned E-W, on its level top.
A field inspection in 1999 noted two possible collapsed cairns nearby: the first (c. 25m to SE) comprised a low, stone spread (H 0.5m; diam. 4.5m) with a large flag stone (L 2.3m; Wth 1m; T 0.17m), and the second (2m to its SSW), another stone spread (diam. 2m; H 0.7m).
Also associated are ‘Tobernafiaghanta’ holy well (CL010-026001-) and another penitential station (CL010-026002-) c. 40m to the ENE, along with three more penitential cairns (CL010-026007-, CL010-026008- and CL010-026009-) located c. 60m to the SW. Further away (c. 450m to NE) is another alignment (ENE-WSW) of four penitential cairns (CL006-140001-, CL006-140002-, CL006-140003- and CL006-140004-) with a fifth cairn (CL006-140005-) c. 90m to their S.
