Remains of a Dublin stone circle, not 10 minutes drive from where I live. This is recorded as either a 'hut site' or an 'enclosure' on the national monuments database (I can't make out which dot refers to what feature) but doesn't have field notes or a description. I first came here in 2009 after reading about it in Fourwind's first book and have returned often since. There is a lot of gorse in the putative south-east arc of the 'circle' and there are stones under there but hard to make out. The stones visible here are all in the north-west arc.

Like that a lot, whatever type of site it is.	Posted by thesweetcheat 17th May 2017ce
Beautiful valley setting, great place to escape to after working in the city all day.	Posted by ryaner 17th May 2017ce
Fascinated by the name 'Brakes' appears it means bracken or heather covered area. Not sure if that is what the Brakes here refers to, however, does demonstrate I need to get out more!	Posted by costaexpress 18th May 2017ce
