Cloghboola Beg
Date Added: 14th Sep 2015
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Would like to visit
Cloghboola Beg submitted by KenWilliams on 24th May 2006. A very odd and intriguing site, the round arrangement of stones in the background isn't the actual stone circle, its that strange structure in the foreground! This was possibly a five stone circle, the two portals are long slabs forming a passage like entrance. There are at least eight outlying stones including what once must have been a three stone alignment close to the radial circle.

Log Text: 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 the road but it would be difficult to pull out again safety due to almost no view of oncoming traffic. Better to park about 600 yards away near what looks like a haulage yard opposite to some houses.

Log Text: 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. A steep climb up from Bantry Riding (excellent riding centre) but well worth it. The views across Bantry Bay are superb and a climb to the top is well worth it too, if you still have the energy!

Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2013. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 5 Access 4
Derrynablaha submitted by frogcottage42 on 20th Mar 2010. This represents the most basic sort of rock art.
There are about forty shallow indentations on the top of this slab but they are very weathered.

Log Text: Many examples of rock art from very clear to almost erased/obscured. Large scattered site that is well worth a visit or preferably more than one if you want explore this area.
A superb setting easily accessed initially before requiring rock scrambling and hunting on both sides of the road.

Derrynafinchin submitted by frogcottage42 on 4th Mar 2010. This is actually a very complete circle, it is so close to the road that two stones have been uprooted and dropped into the circle to allow traffic to pass!
A fence bisects the site and the other stones are hidden in the gorse.
There is parking nearby

Log Text: 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.

Drombohilly Stone Circle submitted by kenwilliams on 23rd Oct 2005. Drombohilly is a truly magnificent circle, though a visit is not for the faint hearted. After any spell of rain the terrain here is treacherous, barb-wire, slippery rock filled streams, shoe-sucking bog... Bring a trusted pair of wellingtons.

Log Text: 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, a climb of about 30m according to OS map. Well worth the effort to find.

Drombohilly Wedge Tomb submitted by frogcottage42 on 1st Mar 2010. From this lofty position the occupant of this tomb would have had panoramic views of the Kenmare River and Macgillycuddy's Reaks.
There are many other less obvious burials in the immediate area and the site overlooks the field systems at Lehid

Log Text: 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.
