The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a steep N-facing slope of Bweeng Little Mountain, overlooking and c. 90m SSE of a stone row (CO041-084----). According to Grove White (1908-15, vol. 3, 333), 'In gap at S.E. corner of field and in fence are large shaped stones, possibly part of cromlech or stone circle'. A group of seven partially grass-covered stones (L c. 1m; c. 0.5m x 0.5m) were located adjacent to a field boundary. Some of the stones lie flat and others are almost upright but leaning against the field boundary.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
