What a beautiful stone circle! It is not complete but what remains sits beautifully in the landscape, which can be appreciated despite the proximity of the field boundaries.
Eight stones still stand with one or two others lying nearby. The axial stone and one of the portals are amongst the remaining orthostats so it is possible to see that the axis is roughly east-west with the axial stone to the west. There is a lovely view to the south towards the gap between the west end of Bear Island and Piper's Point.
While I was here the mist was starting to roll in from the west and gently carressing the mountains to the north and west. I wanted to stay for the sunset, but I had to set off for home - it's a long way from here to Dublin!
