Full Description
NB23SW 31 2363 3192.
A sub-circular stone setting about 6m across, partially covered by turf but at least 12 stones are visible, the largest being about 60cm by 35cm and protruding 20cm. To the SW they seem to be in a single layer laid on bedrock and to the NE there may be more than one layer where they are in deeper turf with rabbit holes. They appear to form a flat platform without a raised edge or kerb.
The setting is located in the S top of a hillock or ridge less than 150m NW of the road junction at Garynahine, and 100m SW of stone NB23SW 14.
There is no local tradition of this setting. It seems to be earlier than any historic agricultural activities.
