Outside the circle, to the E, is an associated standing stone. The axial stone is, unusually, set with its long axis vertical. 3.2km (2ml) W is the tall Ogham-inscribed standing stone at Faunkill-and-the-Woods. 9.6km (6ml) S by W is another fine circle at Derreenataggart West. Less than 4.5 km (3 miles) E is Shronebirrane stone circle, Kerry.
Access: 7.2km (4 1/2 miles) WSW of Lauragh Bridge and about 500 meters SSE of the L.62 road, approachable by farm lane and across bogland.
