What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a ridge overlooking Lough Inchiquin to the SE. Five stones (H 0.86-1.09m; 0.65-1m x 0.2-3m) form the circle (diam. 2.5m). The flat-topped axial stone is at SW. The entrance stone at S leans heavily outwards. Much of the interior has been dug out to a depth of 0.3m. The monument is dominated by the massive standing stone (KE101-012002-) just 0.6m SW of the axial stone. An enclosure (KE101-012003-) lies c. 16m to the NW. (Twohig 1987, 113)
