On a fairly level terrace, the site was excavated in 1937. A stone circle of relatively tall stones surrounds a wedge tomb set to the southwest. The tomb consists of a gallery covered by a single capstone. A pair of jambs projects southwest of this forming a possible antechamber, or a 2nd chamber. A large sill stone is set across the entrance with a pair of jambs outside. The chamber contained charcoal, bone, a flint chip & a barbed-&-tanged arrowhead. The circle is 16.2m diam. & parts of the interior were cobbled.

Location - Balix Upper; Clogherny; Donaghedy; Strabane.

Description
On the east slopes of Balix Hill approx. 200m south-south-west of a court tomb. The site is close to the edge of a disused quarry, the digging of which has removed part of the circle. The site consists of the remains of a stone circle; 3 stones remain, 2 of which are still standing while the 3rd has fallen. The stones form the north western perimeter of the circle & the line of the stones suggests that the whole circle was over 30m in diam. The 2 upright stones are 0.89m & 1.09m high, while the fallen stone would have stood 1.7m high. There is no trace of any other stones or sockets.
