Derrynafinchin
Stone Circle

Take the same directions for Mill Little except at Coomhola Bridge turn right then left and drive on for about 6 miles. As the lane begins to climb there is a junction on the left and the circle is near this. Walk down the left turn off and you will see a dense clump of gorse and bracken – the circle is in this.

We managed to clear bracken from one side to reveal a neat burial chamber and what might be a recumbent stone with a deep hollow in it. Several stones are standing in this small circle and several are laying. In the centre is supposed to be a boulder dolmen but this is very thick gorse and all we could make out was a large stone in there.
