| Cashelkeelty E | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 17th Aug 2021 | 3 | 3 | Bit of a long walk up but well worth it to see the remains of the two stone circles here. | |||

| Lomanagh Holy Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Mar 2012 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Easily accessed and located from the main road. Travelling west there is a pull in on the left with a sign to the well. A few minuets walk on the footpath leads you to this well which seems to be well visited judging by the offerings of all types. Well worth a visit. I stop by from time to time when... Read More |

| Cohaw | Court Tomb | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Cavan | Visited | 29th Jun 2021 | 3 | 5 | 4 | A superb example of two back to back Court tombs with a central chamber between the two. Access is over a small style at the roadside. Very dry when I visited but the approach to the raised site will probably be very boggy in wet weather. It is possible to park a single car on the opposite side of t... Read More |

| Loughcrew Cairn U | Passage Grave | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Meath | Visited | 5th Nov 2019 | 2 | 5 | 3 | The major Cairn structure covering is largely destroyed but well defined. The key orthostats that make up the central chambers are fairly well intact with some petroglyphs weathered but still quite visible. Others have been eroded away to a large extent but can still be viewed in good light. The Cai... Read More |

A superb setting easily accessed initially before requiring rock scrambling and hunting on both sides of the road. | ||

| Carhoonmeengar East | Rock Art | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 10th Dec 2015 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Revisited to record GPS location and to take more photos.

After parking on the right near quarry entrance a short seven minuets walk took me to the site 80% cloud, heavy showers, 13 deg C. GPS readin... Read More |

| Coomanore South | Standing Stones | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Cork | Visited | 1st Sep 2011 | 3 | 4 | 3 | I know this site well and am pleased to see it here as it is my first new site addition to Megalithic Portal. Condition is somewhere between 2 and 3.

| Derrynafinchin | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Cork | Visited | 8th Dec 2012 | 2 | 5 | 5 | I pass close by frequently. Always give acknowledgement to it. A pity it is so close to the tared road and that the gorse encroaches so much. A lovely drive across the mountains from Kilgarvan though. | ||

| Carhoonmeengar East | Rock Art | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Feb 2013 | 3 | 3 | 4 | A bit difficult to locate but well worth it. A wonderful example of its type. Only a few minuets drive from Kenmare town centre and then a short easy walk. I shall be returning to this one. | ||
| Gurteen stone circle | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Dec 2012 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Recent work with a large digger (currently still on site) within a few metres of the circle detracts from the site at present. Also much rampant gorse pushing up around the outer stones. Still a site well worth visiting though. | ||

| Drombohilly Stone Circle | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Feb 2013 | 4 | 5 | 3 | A superb setting for this well preserved circle. Could just be seen from the road at the time of my visit but difficult to access due to highish barbed wire fences. I often carry a piece of hessian sacking to wrap around barb wire in these situations.
Drombohilly wedge tomb is about 200m due South... Read More |

| Drombohilly Wedge Tomb | Wedge Tomb | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Feb 2013 | 3 | 5 | 1 | Difficult to find and to access. Now with woodland planted all around it. Take a sat nav device if you visit or you may have to settle on visiting the nearby stone circle. | ||
| West Stow Field Barrow | Round Barrow(s) | England | Suffolk | Visited | 21st Dec 2014 | 4 | 4 | 3 | I am, and have been over many years, a regular visitor to this Barrow. A very pleasant spot to meet up with friends or just contemplate the Ancestors. | ||
