Beside and to S is spread of stones c. 8m in diameter; possible field clearance. Standing stone (CO106-057---) c. 26m to S. (WBBS). Myler (1998, 37) records that the 'stone circle is situated within a small area enclosed by ditches on three sides'. 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: 24 January 2013
