I don't know why I didn't visit this site when I was last at Kealkil, but this time I made sure I did. There is very little of the stone circle remaining - just the portal stones and the axial stone, which has fallen. The remaining uprights are around 1.5m tall. The site is located on the edge of a steep drop away to the northwest.
This site's main feature is the presence of four boulder burials in what would have been the centre of the circle. These are placed two by two along the central axis of the circle. All four capstones are very equal in size and shape and the aesthetic effect is beautiful.
I think it would have been possible to see the tall stones of the row at Kealkil from here, but trees from modern hedgerows hide it now. Like Kealkil there are amazing views over the valley and out to Bantry Bay and Whiddy Island. Don't let the poor state of the circle put you off coming here it's aa great site.
0.5km (NE) is a stone circle at Kealkil. 6.3km (WNW) is a stone circle at Mill Little. 9.9km (S) is a stone circle at Cullomane. 9.2km (S) is a stone circle at Inchybegga. 3.4km (NNW) is a stone row (alignment) at Knockbreteen.
