What is recorded here
Thirty metres northeast of a known structure and a hundred metres east of the Grange stone circle, an invisible ring of stones holds its shape beneath improved pasture. Magnetic surveys detected the circle in 2008, yet no stone appears above the grass, suggesting burial, removal or a gap in human seeing. It joins nearby circles around Lough Gur like a hidden chamber in a house already full of rooms.
In improved pasture 230m W of Lough Gur. Grange stone circle (LI032-004001-) lies 100m to W, two stone circles (LI032-005/006----) located in the adjoining field to N and structure (LI032-319----) 35m to NW. Not depicted on OSi maps. Identified in 2008 as a series of discrete, negative magnetic anomalies that form a circle measure 13m in diameter, labelled Feature 5 in Area 1 (fluxgate gradiometer survey) and tentatively described as possible ‘remains of small stone circle or, possibly some form of megalithic structure’ (Cleary 2008, 39-40). Visible as circular-shaped cropmark on Google Earth orthoimage dated 07/05/2006. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 or on Google Earth orthoimage dated 20/09/2020.
