What is recorded here
Five stones still stand on a south-facing slope above the Glashagloragh river, though the northern entrance has fallen and field stones have crowded the middle. The circle measures 2.7m along its NE-SW axis, small enough for a handful of people to gather inside. It is the kind of place where someone once arranged rock with purpose, then left it to weather, grass and forgetting.
On shoulder of S-facing hill slope, N of Glashagloragh river. Circle complete; N entrance stone has fallen; interior filled with field stones. Orthostats are 0.7m to 1.7m L, 0.15m to 0.6m T and 1m to 1.4m H. Internal measurement along main axis, aligned NE-SW, is 2.7m. (O Nualláin 1984, 44, no. 89; Roberts 1988, no. 9)
