Lettergorman SW

AKA Knockawaddra Stone Circle

The five stone circle at Lettergorman south west consists of thin slab like stones, the thickest stone is the very flat topped recumbent located at the south west of the circle, it is about 1.5 metres in length by 1.4 metres high and just over a metre thick. The tallest stones are the portal stones, one of which lies prostrate the other stands about 1.6 metres tall. Lying next to the circle is a large block of white quartz that may have been an outlier to the south west of the circle in alignment with Carrigfadda Hill.
