North Atlantic Skyline, despatches from the west coast of Ireland

Dooncarton Stone Circle, Pollatomish, Co. Mayo

The stone circle (centre) has a fine view of Broad Haven (it used to be an uninterrupted one too). This is Broad Haven, a relatively sheltered bay formed by the Mullet Peninsula (out of shot on the left) and the hills pictured. On the right, waves lap against the broad sweep of the beach at Sruwaddacon Bay. The circle is accessible via a boreen off the coast road - you need to hop over a fence and stroll up through a field.

These photos were taken on Saturday May 22, 2004.
