A beautiful little circle in an amazing location, despite the haze you could sit and soak it in for hours.

Carriganimmy

This again isnt far from the village of Carriganimmy. Access is made easier now with the building of a wind-farm in the area. You can follow the new track of the wind-farm quiet close to it. However the area is pretty marshy so bear that in mind. I got fairly wet and it was the middle of summer when I visited. Even with the path it is one of the hidden circles rather than one that stands out in the landscape and so it can be tricky to find..
There is a fence around the stone circle which unfortunately makes taking a good photo of the circle tricky.
Jack Roberts states that this stone circle has a winter solstice orientation.
