What is recorded here
Situated on the S edge of a low rise in rolling pasture near the shoreline of Ballysadare bay. Shown on the 1837 OS map as 'Cromleac' and on the 1913 edition as ' Cromlech'. This megalithic structure consists of six massive irregular-shaped boulders (average size: L 2.4m; Wth 1.2m; H 0.8m) enclosing a roughly pennanular space (c. 4.8m N-S by c. 4m E-W) open to S. Some of the boulders appear to rest on a slight pedestal of soil and stones. The date and significance of this arrangement of stones is unknown.
