The National Monuments Service's description
At the end of a ridge of outcropping rock. A series of eight stones, mostly prostrate, or nearly so, lie in an approximately circular arrangement (diam. c. 7.5m). The monument has obvious affinities with the stone circle complex of south-west Ireland but the remains are insufficient to warrant acceptance as belonging to that class.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
