Killadangan submitted by smithpaul : The whole area around the Stone Row is dotted with Standing Stones, some of which were thought to have been the remains of a Stone Circle, though this one, near to the road would have been an outlying stone.

Five Stone Row near to Westport, County Mayo. Four Stones are graded in height and a fifth is fallen behind the bush. The area was also rumored to have had a stone Circle in the general vicinity of the row and there is indeed many Standing Stones nearby.
