What is recorded here

Situated on a natural plateau on the NE side of Tallaght Hill which is in rough upland pasture. A stone circle indicated on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of the site. Further S are a number of irregular granite boulders in no apparent pattern. These stones are locally referred to as 'Horan's Stones', after Malachy Horan who was a resident of the area many years ago (Healy 1975, 1-19).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
