The lower portion of the monument runs NW-SE for c. 160m and is 31m wide, while the upper portion changes direction slightly, running NNW-SSE for c. 113m and is slightly narrower, 22m wide. The lower portion of the cursus is aligned with a circular cairn (CW020-016----) on the summit of the mountain. This cairn is c. 135m SE of the SE end of the monument. The upper portion of the cursus is aligned with a cairn (CW023-007----/WX008-001----) 3km to the SE on the summit of Mount Leinster, on the Carlow-Wexford border.
