My guess is that the longstone was the terminal stone of the row, with a cairn circle at it's end. It reminds me of the Down Tor complex(though different orientation).
There are a couple of big slabs lying around which could have been part of the cairn circle.

From the A865 at Gramasdail take turning towards Flodaigh. After the 1st loch south of the road is a gate and little track which helps for the first few paces. The circle is about 300m from the road. Boggy!

It's a shame that when D18 was restored they decided on very shiny stainless steel rods which are a bit too visible.

The stone stands about 1.80m above the peat level.
It takes a fair while to get to this stone through the deep forest. But thanks to the Forestry Commission there are road-like tracks leading near to it. (0.5 km).
Very solitary and peaceful.

These ones are rather small and submerged. There is another Stone perfectly aligned on the OS map (NF 865 729) 2.5km WNW. I have not been there and on that day I could not see it. But even on a clear day I doubt that with the peat that high anything can be seen. Non the less it is an intriguing line of sight.
