This is a very similar site to Kealkil (County Cork) - it consists of a five stone circle (ruined), a radial cairn (smaller that Kealkil) and a pair of tall standing stones (one of which isn't standing).
The circle is of the tall variety of five-stone circles, but just three of the stones are now standing. Unlike Kealkil the the tall monoliths are in line with the axis of the stone circle. The one that still stands is 4m tall.
It was practically dark when I arrived here, so I too some very dodgy photos, vowed to come back one day, drank some hot coffee and set off home.

_I finished the day here last time and it worked out that I would probably do same today. It's quite odd, but despite being a bit ruined and horribly fenced in this is a lovely place to sit and relax, especially as the sun goes down. Later in the summer the sunsets will be quite special, but right now the plantation stops you seeing it properly.
After sitting around here for a couple of hours waiting for the sunset only to have it blocked by the trees I decided to move on and try to see it properly ...
