livingstone visited - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 2 Access: 4 Is it just me ??? something just does not feel right about this place. It is too perfect. Quite a few of the stones are weathered and eroded, others feel almost like they rolled out of the sea last week and into position. I heard a rumour in a local pub that lottery money aided some restoration. It is certainly a good tourist attraction

The ring surrounds a boulder-burial consisting of a massive seven ton capstone supported by several low stones. This style of burial appears to be restricted to this part of Ireland: there are over seventy examples in the south Munster area, with apparently just one elsewhere in Ireland.
