A perfect circle, 7m in diameter, comprises 8 stones (2 fallen) averaging 1m in height, 2 of which, only 90cm apart, form an entrance to the N with another pair set radially outside the circle, slightly farther apart. This entrance passage, 2.1 m long, faces a large axial stone: a rectangular slab 150 x 90 cm on the opposite side of the circle.
Access: 1.7km (just over 1 ml) S by W of Beenalaght alignment and 3.2km (2ml) N of Donoughmore, 400m W of the road and at the bottom of the second field NW from a pair of field gates.
