Description:
This stone circle is described on Archaeology.ie as follows;
"Stands less than 100m from shore, at inner end of Adrigole harbour SE of mouth of Adrigole river. Circle complete; stones other than axial stone in inclined positions. Stones are 0.9m to 1.6m L, 0.15m to 0.5m T and 0.7m to 1.9m H. Internal measurement along main axis, aligned NE-SW, is 2.9m. (Ó Nualláin 1984, 42, no. 83)."
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. From what little information I can find on this circle I understand it is located on private property.
