MOANMORE WEST STONE CIRCLE

The stone circle consists of a 2 metre high, flat topped mound with a bank around its rim, giving it the characteristics of a saucer barrow.

However, standing around this ‘rim’ are four 2 metre tall stones set at right angles to the circumference. There are four more that have fallen. All of these stones are identical in height and profile.

It is likely that the stones were the guards of an important burial.
