What is recorded here

Five stones stand in complete circle on a low pasture platform in County Cork, their uneven heights catching light along a northeast-southwest line. A separate stone row waits one hundred twenty metres to the south-southeast, suggesting the fields once held more than one kind of marker. People may have walked between them, tied events to the turning sky, or simply remembered that the land could be shaped into meaning.

On low platform in rough pasture. Circle complete; orthostats are 0.6m to 1m L, 0.25m to 0.4m T and 0.3m to 0.9m H. Internal measurement along main axis, aligned NE-SW, is 2.4m. Stone row (CO069-027----) stands 120m to SSE. (O Nualláin 1984a, 37, no. 67) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

Likely dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000–2500 BCE), this dolmen may have served as a burial or ritual site. Its alignment and association with a stone row suggest ceremonial or astronomical significance.
