This one in Gortavranner, mid-Cork, is remarkable for what does not. A stone circle once stood here, and today there is no visible trace of it at all above ground. It has been removed entirely, leaving behind only the paperwork of its former existence.

The circle's documentary life is a short and fragmented one. It does not appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of 1842 or 1903, but by the time the 1940 edition was produced, it had been recorded as a circle of seven stones, situated roughly fifty metres west of a nearby anomalous stone pair. The OS Memoranda, the field notes kept by Ordnance Survey officers as they worked their way across Ireland in the nineteenth century, give a slightly fuller picture: they describe nine stones, most of them embedded in the ground and barely breaking the surface, with the exception of one stone identified as "A", which stood two feet ten inches above the ground. The researcher Seán Ó Nualláin, who documented Cork's stone circles extensively, cited this description in his 1984 survey. The discrepancy between seven stones on the map and nine in the Memoranda is never explained, and may reflect different counting methods, different moments of recording, or simply the difficulty of identifying what counts as part of a circle when most of the stones are flush with the soil. By the time the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork was compiled in the 1990s, the site had been lost altogether.
