In rough pasture, on the N slope of Knockreagh Mountain. An irregular circle (diam. 7.5m NE-SW x 8.5m NW-SE) of ten stones (H 1-1.25m; 0.6-1.4m x 0.4-0.7m), two of which have fallen and another two of which are incorporated into a field boundary at SW. A large gap between two stones in the SE arc suggests the former presence of an eleventh stone. Two transversely set entrance stones stand at NE and directly opposite is the flat-topped axial stone. Two low stones (H 0.3 and 0.4m) are exposed 2m NE of the entrance and may be an elaboration of this feature or perhaps part of a field boundary. A boulder-burial (KE101-025002-) occupies the centre of the circle and a possible fulacht fia (KE101-025004-) abuts the outer face of the axial stone. Three further boulder-burials (KE101-025003-, KE101-025005-, KE101-025006-) stand c. 8-10m to the SW.
