| Cashelkeelty 2 - Stone Circle |
The walk up from the road takes you through a muddy forest trackpast a lovely waterfall. Once you break through to the main track it is all up hill and it's not an easy walk. As you climb higher and higher the stones stay out of sight until, all of a sudden, they are there crowning the skyline.
The two portal stones of this little 5-stone stone circle are missing. Next to these is a stone row made from three stones. The tallest of these is over 3m and the shortest is just 1m tall. The axis of both the circle and the row is NE-SW, with the tallest stone in the row to the NE.
The circle is built next to a small rocky outcrop and the row runs alongside this. The rock is definitely a significant part of the monument.
