Saturday, 14th October 2006

This stone circle is pretty ruined. Just a few stones remain in place. It is part of a small complex of sites on the southern part of Slieve Glah.

The stones that remain vary in height from 40cm to just over 1m. The circle would have been about 16m in diameter. A concrete sign telling people that the site is protected from being damaged ironically stands at the centre of the circle.
