This is a fine south westerly facing five stone circle. The only down side is that it is built into a field boundary and partially filled with rubbish. The axial stone and one of the adjacent stones are actually incorporated in the bank and the other three are surrounded by long grass and a few bushes, which all combine to make the large stones a little unclear.
They are all large stones, about 1.4m tall, and the circle is quite similar to Lettergorman S (County Cork). If it was cleared of the rubbish and especially if the field wall was moved back this would be one of the finest circles around.
It is not quite situated on the top of the ridge, but some 20m down the slope. Occupying a position on the top and inline with the axis is a square sectioned outlier, which is around 1.3m tall. Unfortunately a tree is growing between the circle and this stone, so the effect is lost now.
