This is not the Oughtihery stone circle we thought we were going to see, but that doesn't really matter. This one, despite being a little ruined, still has a lot to offer. Firstly it is very easy to get to - it's just 5m from the road!
This is a seven stone axial circle, but two of the stones are missing. Luckily the 1.2m x 80cm axial stone is still present, as is one side of the circle. This complete side clearly demonstrates that the stones were graduated in height which increases towards the entrance stones which are 1.1m tall.
Its 'laneside' position does dampen the atmosphere somewhat, but the 3.5m diameter circle itself is still worth stopping off at.
