Whilst we were there, got chatting to the landowner who also informed us of a further stone circle up towards the farmhouse. Took a walk up the hill and found some large stones but it was quite difficult to decide if it was another stone circle.

livingstone visited - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 My favourite place on Earth! This has got to be the most beautiful setting for any site. Access can be difficult if it has been raining since crossing a bog is essential to getting there. Take wellies and expect them to get pulled off your feet
I question the stone circle title as it appears to be much more akin to a collapsed cairn. Nevertheless it oozes ambience and the scenery is second to none.
