Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (1)

This circle has been disturbed, and only the recumbent, the furthest right in this view, remains in its original position. See Link

Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (2)

The large stone on the right is the recumbent, the only stone of the circle that is still in its original position. On its left is one of the flankers, no longer standing upright. See Link

Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (3)

The closest stone is the recumbent, which is the only one in its original position. Behind and to its right is one of the flankers and to its right again one of the small stones thought to have symbolised the entrance to a tomb. Another fallen stone is at the far corner of the fenced enclosure. See Link

Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (4)

The closest stone is one of the flankers, which would originally have stood upright and would have been paired with a similar stone at the other end of the recumbent, which is visible behind it and is the only stone still in situ. See Link

Most of the stones of the Corrydown circle are coarse-grained conglomerate with pebble-sized white quartz clasts. This is part of the flanker. The recumbent, however, is of a different rock type. Pound coin for scale. Compare with NJ7044 : Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (6). See Link

for a fuller description.

Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (6)

This is part of the recumbent. Comparing it with NJ7044 : Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (5), it is obviously a finer-grained rock, lacking the white quartz clasts. The white quartz in the lower part of this view is the remains of a vein formed in a crack in the rock after it had formed. Pound coin for scale. See Link

Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (7)

These are the remaining stones in the north arc of the circle. They have all been displaced and are lying on the ground instead of standing up. See Link

This is the reciprocal of the view in NJ7044 : Corrydown Recumbent Stone Circle (3), with the recumbent appearing taller than the flanker in front of it, and the other stones, also fallen or displaced. See Link
