Reaching the tall fingers of Eightercua is a majestic sight, particualrly if you are taking in the natural beauty by touring the Ring of Kerry. The tallest stone is 3m high, and the alignment is a good fit to line up on the midwinter sunset (33).

The stones are visible from the N70 highway (on the left if heading for Kenmare)
