What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise in an area of rough, boggy pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map; indicated as 'Stone Circle' on the 1913 edition. Circular area (diam. 10.5m) defined by a series of small, low closely-set stones (H 0.2-0.3m). The stones are almost entirely obscured by vegetation. A possible stone row (SL018-059002-), in the form of an intermittent line of low stones, extends for c. 35m to SW to an enclosure (SL018-058002-), within which there is a court tomb (SL018-058001-). A fulacht fiadh (SL018-086----) lies 7m N of the stone circle.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL018-059001
