What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in a natural plateau on the NE side of Tallaght Hill. A stone circle comprised of a series of 14 irregularly spaced boulders of granite and conglomerate which appear to delimit rather than define a cairn (DU024-027001-). There is a triangular-shaped granite boulder at W (H 1.5m; L 0.9m; Wth 0.6m) and a large recumbent conglomerate (H 1.05m; L 1.3m; Wth 1.2m) almost directly opposite. Mc Dix (1925, 26) mentions an inner circle of stones (diam. c. 2.7m) but this is not apparent at the time of inspection.
