Maughanaclea Five Stone Circle: 360° S centred
South is on a hilltop where it coincides with lunar major standstill. North is at the right hand basal step of a block of high ground and over the end of a nearer block of high ground.
- Another Standing Stone is only 140m WSW (242°). Probably co-temporaneous with this one and likely earlier than the circle. Differences between the two positions are negligible to the north, slight to east and west but significant to the south. Unfortunately the original precision is now obscured by trees.
- Maughanaclea Multiple Stone Circle is 1.5km east (83°)
- Cousane Five Stone Circle is 2.3km east (78°)
- Kealkill Five Stone Circle is 3.6km west (258°)
