A beautiful little circle in a beautiful location. I spent quite a while here with the cows watching me over the nearby fence.
This multiple stone circle is around 8m in diameter with a recumbent at the north east. There is a very pretty quartz boulder at the centre of the circle, seemingly a common thing here in Cork.
All of the stones are quite small, none being taller that 1m. The largest stone is the axial at 80cm tall and 1.3m long. This has straight v-shaped grooves in the top that would appear to be made in a process of sharpening something - perhaps these are quite new, I don't honestly know.
The views over the rolling hills that surround here a so good that I found it really hard to tear myself away, but onwards and upwards I must go! for there is another circle just 200m away. Yeah!!
