The National Monuments Service's description
Located in Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. There are scant remains of this monument which was first recorded on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1910) where it is represented as a sub-triangular arrangement of 'stones' and unnamed. On the 1940 revision it is similarly shown and named 'Stone circle'. It consists now of five boulders set in a rough, gapped arc on the SW edge of a slight rise.
