- KE049-028001 Stone circle
Description
Stone circle described by O'Hare (1996, 11-12) as follows; 'Four stones, three upright and one fallen, are visible at this site, enclosing a roughly horseshoe shaped area which lies open to the north. A fifth stone standing to the southwest, appears to form an outlier. The stones are standing on a level break in a steep southeast facing slope, in an area of rough mountain pasture. The site commands a view over the roiling land which lies to the east, southeast, south and southeast. Beginning at east and running clockwise, the dimensions of each stone are as follows: Stone 1 measures 1.05m in height, 56cm in breadth and 49cm in width. The stone, which is roughly triangular in section, is aligned northeast-southwest and is separated by a distance of 92cm from stone 2, which lies to the southwest. Stone 2 measures 80cm in height, 84cm in breadth and 59cm in width. The stone is aligned east west and is somewhat irregular in outline. A distance of 1.3m separates it from stone 3 which lies to the northwest. Stone 3 measures 95cm in height, 79cm in breadth and c. 48cm in width. The stone, which tapers towards its north-west end, is aligned southeast-northwest. A distance of 45cm separates it from stone 4, which lies to the north of it. Stone 4 is prostrate, measuring 1.05m in length, 46cm in breadth and 40cm in width. Stones 1 to 4 enclose an area roughly 3m north-south and 2.6m east-west. The outlier, stone 5, stands c. 2m southwest of stone 3. It measures 1.25 in height, 96cm in breadth and c. 59cm in width. The stone, which is rectangular in section, is aligned east west. A number of other stones lie scattered in and around the site and probably represent field clearance'.
