What is recorded here

Three stones still stand in level Cork pasture while a fourth lies broken beside them, reducing an ancient circle to a partial arc. They are not a grand chamber or a aligned monument but a small group of gallauns that people still call a stone circle because the shape suggests more than the stones provide. The missing pieces may have been taken for walls, roadwork or private use, yet the surviving line still points to a place where humans gathered, marked or remembered.

In level pasture. Described in OS Name Book (1842) as 'a circle of gallauns' three of which are still standing and one lying prostrate and is commonly called a stone circle in other parts of the country'. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
