Don't panic! It's around here somewhere! It has to be! All the books say it's a really good five-stoner, so don't give up looking.
I nearly did. The fields nearby are littered with stones pushed into piles or into hedges. It's very confusing. I finally saw it, up on a little shelf on the side of the hill 20m above me. It's hardly surprising that I didn't see it ... it was hiding behind a calf. Yes, behind a calf. This is a very small, yet perfect, stone circle.
I really like five-stone stone circles. To me they are the pinnacle of stone circle building. The axial stone clearly defines the axis, five stones is enough to make something feel round. They are the Philip Glass of stone circles. Minimalist and functional. This is one of the best I've seen.
What's more, like Gortanimill (County Cork), there is a fantastic view of The Paps on the horizon. Oo-er! I can see why this spot was chosen.
