Stone circles sometime replace or went alongside timber circles, but then did'nt the Lough Gur circle have a central post hole so that a "rope" line could denote the extent of the circle.
In one case, Croft Moraig , the timber circle post (excuse pun)dated the stone circle . Lough Gur is one of the few "circles" though that is not to say a rope and post wasn't used in the more usual ellipses , flattened rings and egg shapes .
