Also known as Lackaduv, Knockraheen is a complex site. The circle itself is a small five stone Irish recumbent, the stones are low, their heights dropping down to the recumbent. About 23m to the SW is a row of two stones aligned on the centre of the recumbent, the farthest is a rounded boulder, the nearest, a flat slab aligned on the sight line. The most prominent of several cairns nearby lies about 50m to the SSE. This cairn had several small kerbstones radially placed on the circumference, some were standing during our visit, the cairn looks as though it may have been excavated. A large square slab on the cairn looks suspiciously like a capstone. Radial-stone cairns like this are quite rare, only nine others are known in Ireland (see also Kealkill and Knocknakilla).
