The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural plateau on the NE side of Tallaght Hill which is in rough upland pasture. A stone circle indicated on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of the site. Further S are a number of irregular granite boulders in no apparent pattern. These stones are locally referred to as 'Horan's Stones', after Malachy Horan who was a resident of the area many years ago (Healy 1975, 1-19).
