Access to the circle:

The circle is quite difficult to reach. A walk from a side road off the B 993 of 400m which takes in several barbed wire fences and a small difficult stream with stepping stones, needs to be negotiated in order to reach the site. Once across this stream which flows through the bottom of a valley, a walk up a slope into the woods should take you to the positon of the site marked on the Landranger OS map.

Although marked on the map I could find no trace of this circle. The whole area within the woods is strewn with low lying boulders and I eventually gave in trying to find the site.If anyone has any information about Tomnagorn then please let me know.
