Not shown on 1842 and 1903 OS 6-inch maps. Marked on 1940 OS 6-inch map as circle of 7 stones c. 50m W of anomalous stone pair (6571). Removed; no visible surface trace. According to O Nualláin (1984a, 48, no. 16), recorded in OS Memoranda as '....nine stones which are embedded in the ground and appear just above the surface, with the exception of the stone marked A which is 2 feet 10 inches above the surface'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
