6.5km SSW of Westport, behind a house on the W side pf a narrow by-road to the E of Boheh Lough and the Westport-Leenane road, a roughgly-circular outcrop of rock is covered with many cup-marks, concentric rings, and maze-motifs over an area 3 metres across.
~ 1.3 km NE in Lanmore is ‘Clogh Phadraig’ or St Patrick’s Stone: one of several standing-stones in the area.
~ 4.8 km NW in Killadangan, 2.5 km E of Murrisk Abbey, in a field known as Gortbraud to seaward of the road to Louisburgh, opposite a lay-by, is a marshy field scattered with standing-stones of various heights – one picturesquely surrounded by water. There are remnants of a double stone circle (?) 12 metres in diameter, a line of small boulders near thje road which may be the remains of a large oval enclosure, and an alignment of 4 stones of decreasing height, of which the tallest is 1.2 metres high, and broken.
