National monument No. 247. Stone circle on slightly elevated grassland 370m west of Lough Gur in an area rich with prehistoric monuments. Standing stones 147m and 210m to north-north-west, a prehistoric trackway running NW-SE known as Cladh na Leac lies 180m to the east. A large embanked stone circle known as the Grange Stone circle stands 90m to the south. A second partially levelled stone circle stands in the same field to the south-south-west. Monument consist of a low circular possible denuded burial-mound measuring 17m in diameter enclosed by fifteen low orthostats standing in a shallow fosse with a wide gap measuring 5m wide at south-south-west and slight traces of an external bank. The gap at SSW may have been created in modern times by the removal of two orthostats.
