This is very similar to the other circle here, at Currabeha - South (County Cork), both in size and design, but unfortunately not in such good condition. It is again 8m in diameter and made of quite small stones - this does not detract from its pretiness though.

The quartz boulder has been moved from the centre and place in the circumference. This is larger and flatter than the one in the circle below.

Some of the stones that once formed the circle have been uprooted and placed together, possibly for the purposes of a burial.

To the north east is a low outlying stone set about 40m away. Because this circle occupies the crown of the hill the views are more spectacular than from the other circle.
