Stone Circle

In pasture, on an E-facing slope amidst rock outcrops. A roughly circular area (diam. 17m x 18m) enclosed by 25 almost contiguous stones. The stones range in size from 0.95m x 0.45m to 1.3m x 2m. Most are bedded on their sides though a few of the smaller ones are upright. Several gaps were noted between the stones. The interior is raised slightly on the E side to compensate for the hillslope. Three flat sod-covered slabs were noted in the interior. The townland boundary between Cabragh and Garoke bisects the kerb circle on a NE-SW axis, six of the stones being on the SE side of the boundary. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
