Log Text: Most kerbstones are visible but some are roped off preventing close inspection. The eastern entrance is blocked by a metal staircase and the eastern entrance stone and standing stone is partially obscured by this. Spectacular group of satellite mounds with their own kerbs and chambers.

Lisnagun Standing Stone submitted by Klingon on 8th Apr 2005. Standing Stone inside a churchyard. Our hands were prickle when touching the stone.

Log Text: Large, wide, and thin standing stone in the front of a church yard. Public access is easy through the unlocked gates and there's parking around the side. The stone tapers upward towards the north point and is slightly lower on the south point. Very straight on both east and west sides plus along the top, well shaped. The alignment appears to be perfectly north according to my compass (taller peak facing north, alignment along the long axis). The church itself seems old as well.
Millstreet Country Park

Millstreet Country Park submitted by Andy B on 19th Mar 2010. I suppose that Millstreet Country Park should be described as a theme park, its theme being the wildlife, archeology and history of the area. It must be unique in that its entrance is around 390m up a mountain. After you enter, you must drive around 2Km and drop about 180m to reach the visitor centre. The photo shows a recreated crannóg, a prehistoric dwelling on an artificial island, just one of the delights of this wonderful place.

Log Text: Stands tall on the hill commanding an excellent view of the entire region. Can be seen from a far distance due to the reconstructed quartz wall. The three carved stones visible from the outside (the entrance stone, the back kerbstones, and the side kerbstone) are all in excellent condition with clear and striking carvings.

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.

Log Text: In the middle of a field, close to the road. There's a gate to the south to cross the fence at which is further from the road. As previously described, the tallest stone has fallen but the other two remain in original positions. White quartz veins running through the two tallest stones. There is a depression in the earth close to the narrow base of the fallen stone that is the same size as that side's base, and is positioned the same distance from the middle stone as the smaller stone is to the middle. The alignment faces south overlooking Lough Allua. It is aligned SW of the lake towards the southern mountains.
