What is recorded here

Half a kilometre north of a megalithic tomb and four hundred metres east of a stone circle, a faint ring of low stone leans through heather on a wet SE slope in Srath Bruithne Íochtarach. The ground is so bogged and rock-streaked that the ring may be a hidden circle or merely a natural mound given shape by memory. In winter, when the marsh settles and the heather darkens, that uncertainty may tighten into a line human hands once drew.

Situated on wet bog-covered marshy land On SE facing slope of rising ground in mountain valley with high ground to NW and river valley to SW. Nearby stone circle (DG 096-029) located 370m to SW and megalithic tomb (DG091-005-) located 945m to N. Barely visible outline of low orthostats protruding above the heather covered terrain forming a possible stone circle (diam. 8.5m) the interior of which appears to be dry and free of rock outcrop and was visible by the differential growth of the vegetation in this circular area. This monument is not clearly visible and it is possible that it would be clearer during the winter months. It is also located in an area of rock outcrop which makes it difficult to be certain whether this feature are the remains of a bog covered stone circle or just a natural arrangement of rock outcrop forming a rougly circular feature.
