The National Monuments Service's description
On low mound in boggy ground overlooking sea. Group of nine partially embedded stones, two of which are upright (H 1.16m; 0.9m x 0.8m: H 1.15m; 0.83m x 0.36m), forming a rough circle. Three larger stones rest on these at SSW and NNE ends. One stone protrudes slightly in centre which is otherwise clear. Known locally as 'grappadgh' (O'Shea and Crowley 1972, 95).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
