Anomalous stone group in Unknown

Anomalous stone group

What is recorded here

Unlocated possible stone setting of uncertain nature within townland, there is a tradition of a 'capall ban' (belonging to Fintan) in the fields which slope away from Clonenagh towards Ballyfin - it is said to be the outline of a white horse made of stones set in the ground. I hunted over the fields but with no success -people think they know where the horse is, but they either won't show the place or make some king of an excuse that is is gone out of sight now (Roe, H, Tales of St. Fintan of Clonenagh in The Journal of the Folklore of Ireland Society).
