I was confused by this site, but I think I've worked it out now. Three stones still stand here - one taller (2.5m) and two short ones. Next to the shorter stones is what looks like a bit of rock outcrop, bu it is in fact the fallen axial stone of the circle and the two shoter stones (1.2m) are also part of the circle. The tall stone is an outlier or perhaps part of a damaged row.

To the northwest is a huge, rounded rock outcrop that dominates this and the other circle at Cashelkeelty 1 (County Kerry). The views to the north across to The Dingle are fabulous. It might be an arduous climb, but it's worth it.
