Anomalous stone group in Dubhoileán Mór

Anomalous stone group

What is recorded here

Dubhoileán Mór holds a low rectangular stone group forty metres from its 19th century houses. The stones barely break the grass, defying easy description or purpose. They may mark a forgotten threshold, a child's game, or a boundary drawn in rock rather than written.
In an expanse of rough grass, located c. 40m NW of the 19th century house cluster in the centre of Duvillaun More island. This consists of a sub-rectangular setting (2.4m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE) of stones, some of which are set upright. The stones (max. L 0.5m; max. H 0.3m) are low, barely protruding from the sod. The function and date of this feature is unclear. It may be contemporary with the 19th century settlement.
