Description Drombohilly Stone Circle, Co. Kerry (V790 607): One of the most beautiful stone circles on the Beara Peninsula, Drombohilly stands on the edge of a terrace with fine views over towards the Kenmare estuary. From the north the remaining stones of this 8.5m diameter recumbent stone circle stand out conspicuously against the skyline. The radial portal stones, one leaning, are 2.1m in height with the recumbent probably being the stone which now lies just inside the circle to the SSW. The alignment of the circle would apparently have been with the southernmost moonset.
