Baurgorm Radial Stone Enclosure is about 3km south-east of Bantry town.
A number of stones have been radially set into a low sod and stone bank of perhaps 10m diameter. The interior has apparently been used as a cillin (killeen), that is, a burial ground.
A number of megalithic sites are nearby:
- Five Stone Circle CO118-044002 is 860m to the north-north-east (24°)
- Five Stone Circle CO118-042 is 450m to the west-south-west (245°)
- Stone Row CO118-064002 is 250m to the south-west (224°)
