What is recorded here

Magic and life both move through the Derry stone. The fairies may have danced there before humans arrived, but the red woman and her children also lived beside the stone, touched it, breathed near it and left life behind. The circle is not empty; it is a place where more than one kind of being has belonged.

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A circular grass-covered area with rock outcrop (int. diam.16m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by a stone spread (at E: Wth 1.8m; H 0.8m; at N: Wth 5.4m; H 0.5-0.8m) with no facing stones visible. The perimeter at S is overlain by an E-W masonry wall and S of this is reduced to a grass-covered scarp (H 0.6m). A house-site (CL026-023002-) is attached to the perimeter at S.
