The first thing I will say is that this stone circle is not for the faint hearted! I only just found it using my GPS. In sunnier weather it may be possible with a map and compass if you are good with them. The ground is very marshy and I really wouldn't like to get lost up here.

The circle itself is quite small (about 5m in diameter) and has several stones missing. The stones seem to be paired.

There are two entrance stones just 1m outside the circle facing SW.

The tallest stone is no more than 70cm and the lowest is just 20cm. It is possible that the stones were lowest opposite the entrance and grew in height as you go around towards it.

It is a cute little monument that on a clear day must offer stunning views.

The last time I was here I was surprised to find the site in the fog, but today I was surprised to find it because I got the coordinates wrong, and the stones aren't very tall. As we were walking towards the place where I thought the stone circle was I saw two stones. On walking towards them to investigate I saw that they were part of the circle.

The remains are fairly ruined, but the site is still well-defined. The two stone I saw from a distance are the tallest in the circle and face west. The nearby cairns have associated standing stones that stand to their west, so this complex is definitely orientated towards the west and the Knockmealdown Mountains.

I will not include directions for these sites. If you wish to find them then I recommend a good compass and an OS map. Even better a GPS.
