Cappaboy Beg Radial Stone Enclosure is about 7km north-east of Kealkill. On high ground, north of the R584.
Largely overgrown, eleven small stones are visible forming a ring c.7m across. The standing stone is just outside it, beside the field boundary.
Probably the most recent of this local group of bronze age monuments.
