Visit Notes

Sunday, 9th May 2004

There are several small red circles marked on the southwest slopes of Sheemore, but none here on the north side. However, this is definitely a circular feature around 12m in diameter.

Its position above the road and the raths below make this a possible lookout post, but their location just below the passage tombs on the top of the hill also adds an interesting angle.
