Ardgroom Outward, county Cork
Commanding a fine view from its exposed position over Bantry Bay, this fine axial-stone circle has stones similar to the pillar-like slabs of the smaller circle at
Drombohilly
(Kerry), almost 10 km NE.
In this circle also 9 stones survive, with some unfortunately missing: one can be seen in a field-fence some distance to the N. They range from l.3 to almost 2 metres in height.
Outside the circle, to the E, is an associated standing stone (right).
The axial stone (left) is, unusually, set on end.
