Another Irish gem with scant directions on the net! Any advice greatly appreciated! :D

Heh heh hehhh! Directions to Drombohilly?! You need a GPS just to find the right road down that area!

Well, I think the easy way is to keep driving past where it is marked on the map, keep on the road to Ardgroom. Before you come in to Lauragh there is a large, ugly concrete church on your right, just past it there is a turn to the left after a little track that descends from the right. Take the little track uphill past a house on the left, you're going back on yourself up a mountain pass. It's very narrow and watch out for walkers.

When you pass over the top and start descending look for two gates off the road to the right, if you pass a ruined cottage on your left you've gone a little too far. Hop over the second gate and descend diagonally down the hillside to the little valley, there's a gate here just at a stream. Go straight from there across to the plateau to the east, the circle is up there past a new plantation (it's visible from the road but dissapears as you make your way to it.). Beware more streams and rickety barbed wire fences. Go alone unless travelling with people who like punishment :)

I approached from the road to the west across bog and two fences. If you go this way you can go via the lovely wedge tomb in the same townland.
