tsstorey visited on 25th Sep 2015 These standing stones are a bit hidden from the parking area and can be found on the just past the left side of the car park. The coordinates put it on the right. I didn't see the third stone, it may be overgrown.

There is a layby with signposts pointing to the stone circles at Cashelkeelty and in what looks like a car park these stones nestle under some fir trees at the left margin.
Although listed as separate stones by the local archaeology trust there is a third stone just visible at ground level which forms an alignment. It seems likely that these stones in some way mark the presence of the multiple sites on the hill above due to their proximity to the most convenient path leading to them.
