Lissyviggeen
Lissyviggeen submitted by frogcottage42 : From the South showing the huge entrance stones. At well over 2m in height and nearly as wide they dwarf the elements of the circle itself and may pre-date it. The stone to the left is carved with several designs, some resembling runes.

Lissyviggeen
Lissyviggeen submitted by frogcottage42 : Sitting in a circular banked enclosure topped with trees, this seven stone boulder circle is around 6m across. The entrance way is guarded by two huge standing stones around 20m to the South.
