The remains of the other end can still be seen in the car park at the end of Raheen Park. Some triangular concrete lumps set into the ground.

Glad I asked now, thanks for information and links :cool:

Another excuse to go back up, along with Raheen-A-Cluig, which I only seen looking for this place

As if you need any excuses
