Outlined

Situated on a low rise of ground in an area of rock outcrop overlooking a sea inlet known as Casloughtermon to the E. The ruins of Templecrone Church (DG048-008001-) can be seen 435m to the NE overlooking the N shoreline of Casloughtermon. The W shoreline of this inlet is 60m E of the possible stone circle. An iregular shaped enclosure which may be the wall footings of a large house site (DG048-012----) are located c. 20m to the NE. The site consists of a circular area (int. diam. c. 16m) enclosed by a circle of contiguous upright orthostats (avg. H 0.5m) with no evidence of an entrance gap into the circle. In some places there is evidence or traces of a possible bank or small packing stones supporting the base of an on the external face of the upright stones. The monument is located in a field known as the 'Rath Liath [Grey Fort]' (Pers. comm. J. Doherty 21/10/2011) and may be the remains of a denuded cashel rather than a stone circle but the lack of a clearly defined entrance feature and the single upright stones suggests that it may be the remains of a stone circle.
