In a very wet enclosure, but well worth the wet feet.

Looking west I think, the amazing scenery on the drive up here may have affected my bearings.

Cnoc na Cille – “Hill of the church”
Situated on the North Western slope of Musherabeg mountain.
There is a signpost and a gate, giving access, up a wet boggy hill.The site has been fenced off, presumably to protect it from the sheep or forestry workers ! There are two massive stones, one fallen, the other leaning towards the circle, forming an allignment NE – SW. Both are at least 3.5 to 4 metres tall. The circle itself is a five stone recumbant circle. Three stones still stand with two fallen.
