Cappanaboul
Cappanaboul submitted by frogcottage42 : This is from the South shortly after the gorse was burnt (Vote or comment on this photo)
Originally a thirteen stone multiple axial circle, only nine appear present. The axial and one portal are amongst the missing stones making it difficult to see the proper alignment.

Circle diameter: 34 by 31 feet, Number of stones: 13

On a plateau on a NE facing slope of a hill, this circle has a commanding view of Cappanaboul Lough and is in a splendid spot. Access is via a farm but grazing animals will restrict visitors to times that suit the farmer.
