This stone circle is described on Archaeology.ie as follows;
"On level patch of moorland on W slopes of Musherabeg mountain overlooking Foherish River valley. Circle complete. Orthostats are 0.6m to 1.3m L, 0.3m to 0.4m T and 0.6m to 0.9m H. Internal measurement along main axis, aligned NE-SW, is 2.9m. Standing stone (6630) 5.75m to SE. (O Nualláin 1984a, 32, no. 55)."
Jack Roberts, who has been studying the stone circles of Cork & Kerry for 30 years, suspects that this stone circle is aligned to the sun-set on the Winter Solstice.
