The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture 230m W of Lough Gur. Grange stone circle (LI032-004001-) lies 100m to W, two stone circles (LI032-005/006----) located in the adjoining field to N and structure (LI032-319----) 35m to NW. Not depicted on OSi maps. Identified in 2008 as a series of discrete, negative magnetic anomalies that form a circle measure 13m in diameter, labelled Feature 5 in Area 1 (fluxgate gradiometer survey) and tentatively described as possible ‘remains of small stone circle or, possibly some form of megalithic structure’ (Cleary 2008, 39-40). Visible as circular-shaped cropmark on Google Earth orthoimage dated 07/05/2006. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 or on Google Earth orthoimage dated 20/09/2020.
