Oughtiherry SE is also known as Keel Cross, it is a seven stone Irish recumbent circle with the ENE portal and southern circle stones missing. The recumbent is a 1.8m wide slab with a curved top profile, all other surviving stones have flat tops, interestingly, the top of the western stone slopes away from the recumbent. The surviving portal stone has a tangential placement. Although there was evidence of some dumping of field clearance stones within the circle, it was slight compared to the veritable mound we saw at Oughtihery NW.
