In pasture, in the narrow valley of the Drimminboy River. An incomplete circle (diam. 7.5m) comprising eight upright stones (H 1.18-2m; 0.8-2m x 0.2-0.6m) and one fallen stone, stands in an arc ESE-NNW. One stone (H 0.4m) appears to be broken. The axial stone, which leans inwards, has a flat top and is the longest and lowest stone. The stones in the S half of the perimeter decrease in height as they approach the axial stone. Ó Nualláin (1984a, 29) suggests that this stone circle, 'if symmetrically designed, would seem to have consisted of thirteen closely-set stones'. (Ó Nualláin, 1984a, 29, no. 46)
