You can’t see the circle from the road but your marker is the close by standing stone. Walk back towards the farm house and the circle is on your left.

Thickening clouds blocked the final stages of sunset but would be interesting to see what happens around winter solstice in a couple of weeks.

Rylane is just off the road about 1.5km from Rylane village. You don’t see it as you pass by but you should be able to see the nearby standing stone. Find the standing stone and the stone circle is just over the ditch to the west.
The circle is given as having a orientation of 220° and is also noted as having a possible winter solstice orientation.
