Bohonagh, Co. Cork. A recumbent-stone circle and a dolmen standing within 18 metres of each other on a hillslope at Bohonagh, near Rosscarbery, Co. Cork, were excavated by Mr E. M. Fahy of Cork Public Museum in September 1959. During the course of the work a posthole plan of a hut was discovered within 11 metres of the stone circle. None of the sites produced readily datable evidence but the monuments belong to an extensive spread of stone circles, megalithic tombs, standing stones and stone alignments which occurs throughout West Cork and the adjoining parts of Co. Kerry.

The excavation revealed that the circle originally consisted of 13 orthostats and one recumbent slab. Three of the stones had fallen and five had been robbed. Almost in the centre of the circle, which was 9 metres in diameter, a deposit of cremated human bone was discovered in a shallow, unmarked pit. The interior of the circle had been levelled by its builders and there was distinct evidence of deliberate gravelling over the area.

In common with the other stone circles of West Cork the portal stones, on the eastern side of the monument, were the tallest of the group while the recumbent, on the opposite side of the circle was the smallest.
