Carrigagulla A is an 8-metre-diameter (26 ft) stone circle consisting of 16 standing stones circling a central slab. It is thought that there originally may have been 17 stones in place. The Carrigagulla NE stone row consists of five stones, four of which have been moved and are now used as gates. The stone row at Carrigagulla SW is built from three stones, one of which has fallen.
Carrigagulla Ogham Stone was discovered by Coillte Teoranta during peat cutting, but the exact location of the find is not known. It has been housed in Cork Public Museum since 1940.
