]]>Eighteen slabs stand on end near the top of a ridge in rough pasture, set like the spokes of a wheel around a low spread of cairn stones. Radial stone cairns are rare, with only about twenty recorded in Ireland. The slabs are 0.5 to one metre long, an early account reckoned the ring had once held twenty-four.

]]>Anthony Weir writes: The townland of Glencolumbcille in Co. Donegal is famous for its "turas", or devotional pattern on the 9th of June, along a given route which is punctuated by stations. Most of the stations feature beautiful early-christian cross-slabs and cairns, but two are megalithic tombs! The ninth station, Farranmacbride, shown here, 400 metres north of the church, close to a perforated standing-stone "through which Heaven may be glimpsed" by the pure - or devout - "and barren women made fertile", is a huge ruined court-tomb, some of whose chambers have been used as livestock pens.
