Dromkeal submitted by frogcottage42 on 4th Mar 2010. Looking from the South West over the axial at the portals.
This circle is impossible to photograph in it's entirety due to being completely enveloped in forestry.
Almost all the stones are here of which six are upright
There is a large boulder burial well off centre to the West

Derrynafinchin submitted by frogcottage42 on 4th Mar 2010. This is actually a very complete circle, it is so close to the road that two stones have been uprooted and dropped into the circle to allow traffic to pass!
A fence bisects the site and the other stones are hidden in the gorse.
There is parking nearby
