Maughanaclea Standing Stone: 360° S centred
South is somewhere close to a hilltop. North is at the right hand basal step of a block of high ground, within a wider dip.
- A Standing Stone beside a Five Stone Circle cuts the horizon only 40m to the ENE (66°) It is probably co-temporaneous with this one and the circle is likely to be a later addition. 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.
