What is recorded here

Five stones stood in pasture at the north foot of Musheramore Mountain, wedged between the Owenbaun and Mushera Rivers until destruction erased the circle shortly before 1933. They may have marked a gallan or simply given that narrow valley a shape large enough for people to remember. Loss has removed the stones, but the mountain, rivers and forgotten alignment still occupy the same place.
