Looking at the OS map at where this circle was supposed to be I didn't really hold out much hope of seeing anything. Just as well really, because it is ruined.

I think I identified a couple of stones from it, and that is all.

Directions

Take the N81 south from Dublin and turn left at the Kilbride junction along the R759. Continue through Kilbride and on for another 4.5km where you will find a road to the right. Take this and then at the next junction go right again. 1km along this road you will reach atrack on the right that leads upto Ballyward woods. Park near the gate and enter the woods. Take the left track and continue around the woods always bearing right. You will pass a ruined cottage and a road to the left. Continue past these until the woods thicken up again on your left. The circle remains are just in the woods to the right. Good luck!
