What is recorded here

In wet peatland, situated on a gentle W-facing slope, providing good views in all directions and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to W. This monument is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map or on the 25-inch plan. It is depicted on the 1922 OS 6-inch edition as a circle of boulders (diam. c. 25m) and is named ‘Stone circle’. Inspected in 1997, it comprises a subtriangular area (32.2m WNW-ESE; 23.6m NNE-SSW) defined by a series of thirty stones. Seven of the stones are fully upright, six are set on edge, fifteen are irregularly-shaped boulders randomly set and the remaining four stones are low and largely peat-covered. Ground level in the enclosed area is uneven.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA007-009001
