Shronebirrane
Stone Circle

As you head towards Lauragh on the R571 take the right turn signed to the circle and take the next right and drive to the end of the lane to the foot of the mountains. There is a parking space by the circle which is next to a bungalow. The owner of the house charges 2 Euros each to walk the few metres to the circle and for a further 2 Euros if you want you can walk the footpath up the valley.

However the circle is in a very attractive setting ringed by mountains. There were originally 13 stones here but 4 are missing and 2 are fallen. The remaining stones are impressive, reaching over 2.6 metres in height at the NE portal. The recumbent is to the SW and is 2.1m long.
