Sunday, 28th April 2002

100 m north of the massive Grange Lios circle you will find this rough stone circle, which can be accessed through a purpose built gap in the fence just over a low dry stone wall. It consists of very rough and uneven stones with a large gap on one side where, it would appear, at least two stones have been removed.

The circle is about 15m in diameter. Each stone that forms part of its construction is at very large and beautifully weathered, giving a really rough feel to the whole. Unlike Grange Lios it is unprotected from livestock.
