Like Inchincurka (County Cork) this is another site that I only recently found out about and decided to check out. In Cork it's not too difficult to not hear of a site, because there's just so many of them!
As I arrived at this site the heavens opened, but luckily I was still in the car. I passed 20 minutes watching the clouds and rain pass over the Sheehy and Maughanaclea Mountains to the west. As soon as this stopped I set off up the gently sloping field to the stones, which I could just see on the crown of the hill.
The row is aligned northeast-southwest and seems to point straight at the Maughanaclea Hills. Five out of six stones still stand. Four of these are about 1.3m tall, while the final southwestern stone is over 3m tall. A wall and hedge 5m to the south block all the views in that direction, but climbing onto the wall allows you to really appreciate how good the views are in that direction. East and west offer equally fine views, while the north is blocked by Carrigirierk, a lowish rocky faced hill.
