Five massive blocks, one fallen, remain of a recumbent stone circle, 9.5m in diameter, which probably originally consisted of nine stones. In the centre of the circle is a small quartz slab similar in shape to the much larger recumbent stone on the SSW of the circle.
The quartz stone at the centre of the circle is known as "Cloich Griene" meaning the sunstone. This is said to be the stone from where Clonakilty got it's name.
When there in March 2000 the site was advertising a large notice for a nearby riding stables.
Access:
A mile or two up MacCurtain Rd near the tourist office in Clonakilty. No signposts but stepping stones jutting out of the bank, opposite a bungalow, allow you to climb up on top of and see it without trespassing.
