What is recorded here

In level pasture, c. 60m S of a stream at the foot of the W slope of Knockbrack. There are no visible remains of this stone circle. Windele (RIA MS 12.C.11, 293) described a circle 'of sixteen stones none of them higher than 4 feet [1.21m] and some of them four feet [1.21m] broad. The diameter is 13 paces or about 30 feet [9.1m]. It is open at the NW either as originally or by the removal of a stone…'. His accompanying sketch shows a possible axial stone. Ó Nualláin (1984a, 27, no. 42) noted that the circle was clearly of the Cork-Kerry type and 'probably consisted of seventeen orthostats enclosing an area about 9m in diameter'. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
