Visited: Would like to visit
Dromroe submitted by ladrin on 14th May 2015. I think that public access is possible. Leave the car where the small pictograph of the Beara tourist trail is. Follow the path about 10 min. After the third or fourth ledder (anyway when you get to the large open pasture), leave the trail to the left.

Millstreet Country Park
Date Added: 26th May 2024
Site Type: Museum
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Would like to visit
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.

Visited: Would like to visit
Cailleach Beara submitted by Runemage on 11th Mar 2011. I'd only just passed through the gate when my sandal broke after a few steps, so I continued barefoot. The atmosphere there that day was feminine, gentle and enfolding. It was of an intensity I've only experienced at a few other sites, Cailleach in her aspect of Mother, warm gentle and nurturing.
From the first sight of her, which is the view in this image, I could instantly see where the legend had arisen of her waiting on the shore for her lover Manannan Mac Lir to return. She does look like...

Beenalaght submitted by KenWilliams on 15th Dec 2005. An Seisear, a very impressive row of stones located across a long field on the road from Coachford to Mallow. They are hard to spot now due to a pine plantation which the stones almost blend into when viewed from the road.

Farranaglogh

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Meath)
Visited: Yes on 12th Jul 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Farranaglogh submitted by Gallain_Asters on 12th Jul 2024. Western side looking eastwards. The stone leans forward towards the west. Only this side has smaller stones at the base, possibly added for structural stability against the lean.

Log Text: When I visited this standing stone I could not see the second collapsed stone nearby on the little hill the remaining one is on. The stone that is there is broad and thin with even, flat wide sides. It is leaning westward at a small angle but still freestanding. Stones are visible at the base on the west wide, no stones seen on the east side. The top of the stone is taller at the southern point. According to my GPS, the stone is aligned either 30° NNE from true north or 210° SSW depending on which direction it points in (looking from the shorter to taller peak is 210° SSW). The remaining stone is in a farmer's field about 100m west from the gate. The stone is at least 5 foot 7 inches tall.

Drombeg Fulacht Fiadh and Hut submitted by Klingon on 8th Apr 2005. Ancient settlement near the Drombeg Stone Circle.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
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: 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.

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.
