Stone Circle in Cloghboola Beg, hut site in County Cork

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

On E side of mountain stream flowing N; remains of hut site built on slight terrace with extensive view W->N. Area reclaimed and planted with coniferous trees. Remains consist of roughly circular setting of small boulders (int. diam. 3.5m N-S) which have lost much of their original form and now are somewhat obscured by overgrowth. Interior very uneven and boggy. Mistakenly marked as 'Stone Circle' on OS 6-inch map, probably in error for actual stone circle (6459) c. 600m to NNW, which is not marked on OS 6-inch map.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO048-081
