Log Text: Beautiful site overlooking a great view. The site is very close to the road and right by a gate that can be parked at and opened easily (this gate is not the one at the junction but a little further up the single-car road). The stone circle is in a sheep field but go slow and they'll leave you be. The quartz stone in the middle is now in two pieces but the bottom remains rooted in place. A nice big circle with many of its stones still in their original upright position.

Log Text: Incredible stone circle in excellent condition, part of a complex of sites in the immediate area. The view of the area is wide and stunning. Access is very easy, there is a carpark and a maintained walking path up to the site. There is a gate wide enough for a car likely for OPW use, but might be able to be used for easier disabled access via private car if arrangements are made with OPW ahead of time. Good informational signage at site giving context to both the stone circle and nearby cooking pit and hut sites.

Drombeg Fulacht Fiadh and Hut submitted by Klingon on 8th Apr 2005. Ancient settlement near the Drombeg Stone Circle.

Log Text: Both the fulacht fiadh and the hut site are now outlines in the earth with partial stone walls, but the outlines of these spaces is undisturbed and clearly visible. There are numerous earthworks surrounding these two forming rings and ditches, though it is unclear if these are contemporary to the fulacht fiadh and the hut or modern earthworks. The fulacht fiadh was filled with rainwater and plucked daisies, which grow on the outer side of this site.

Log Text: Beautiful tall stone, very wide and contains much white quartz. The southern side is mostly white quartz and tapers to a point around the stone's mid-height. The northern side rises to a peak and is quite flat with shooting of white quartz running vertically to the tallest tip. In a sheepfield but very close to a gate, there is an electric wire and the gate is by two fields separated by a hedge. The stone is on the right (eastern) side. There is a signpost further back on the road before the turn indicating this is locally called "Mass Rock".

Templebryan stone circle submitted by Ebor on 30th Apr 2016. 'The Druids Temple' aka Templebryan Stone Circle - The quartz stone at the centre of the circle is known as "Cloich Griene" meaning the sunstone. This is said to be the stone from where Clonakilty got it's name.

Log Text: Five stones remain in the circle, surrounds a large quartzite boulder in the centre. The stone with gaps to both sides seems just slightly misaligned with the central quartz and the middle of two closer set stones, plus its upper face tapers up towards where the best alignment of the central quartz and middle of the portals stones would be, suggesting this remaining stone may have flanked the original recumbent, now missing. The immediate area around and in the circle has been used to dump field and hedge cuttings so it's a little precarious, just keep an eye on your footing. There's an access point into the field just a little north of the circle if you don't mind a short climb over mud. The stones are visible from the road approaching from the north. The tops of the two potential portal stones close set to each other are remarkably flat. The taller one is quite craggy like tree bark on its sides, while the stouter one has white quartz deposits along the top.
