| This stone circle is a rare four-poster stone circle and sits proudly on top of a small hill in the west of county Wexford .Its four stones vary in height from 1.7m (NE stone), 1.6 (NW stone),1.5m (SW stone) and 1.1m (SE stone).They are positioned in a rectangular shape,5m from north-south and 4m from east-west. There are two other stones on the north side believed to be a ritual alter. This is one of the finest sites in Wexford and the land owner, a charming man, is only too pleased to chat about the stones.
