Kealkil
Stone Circle

This site is signed from the village of Kealkil. A very steep and bending lane takes you to the site. When you reach it continue a little to a parking space further up. (From this parking space you can just see another circle – Breeny Mor – over a field to the west) Go through the gate and keep east to reach the site.

This is a very small attractive five stone circle with two tall standing stones and a neat radial cairn beside it to the SW. One of the standing stones was originally around 7 metres tall but broke when it fell. The other standing stone reaches 2.4 metres (8ft). The radial cairn has 18 upright stones standing in a ring about 6.4 metres diameter.
