This circle is easily seen from the road from Waterville signposted to Church Island and Lough Currane.
About 6 km from Waterville a field gate allows access to this largely ruinous circle.
Probably containing seven or nine stones it is no longer possible to distinguish between elements of the monument and clearance debris within and against the circle.
There are some standing stones incorporated into the walls that may have been a related stone row and there are boulders and small cairns scattered around the field.
