Just outside the picturesque town of Killarney, Lissyviggeen is an almost perfect circle of seven stones set within a small henge bounded by trees. The circle is about 4.3m in diameter, and the stones are about a metre high.

Known in the area as the Seven Sisters, this is a lovely site with an almost enchanted air about it.
