Log Text: Pair of standing stones located by the green garden hedge of the small cottage. Both monoliths are quite impressive slabs up to 230cm respectively 260cm high. Western stone has distinctive vertical quartzite vein.
According existing sources the stones are not in its origin location. They were relocated and rearanged after one was hit by the bus and broken sometimes before 1975.
Owner of the house is accommodating and sympathizing with stone-enthusiast so the permission is no problem at all.

Dromroe submitted by frogcottage42 on 15th Mar 2010. This circle is in very good order and was next to the Beara Way path but as seems to be the case in many places locally the farmer has denied access and the path is now diverted 400m to the North.

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.

Loughmoney submitted by ladrin on 1st Nov 2023. Such a beautiful and quite unknown monument.

Log Text: Surprisingly distinctive and beautiful monument taking into account quite peripheral knowledge of this site. Being placed close to the road so even acces is very easy. Situated on the hill behind the lowly wall of the private field.
Roughly 1,8 cm tall dolmen made of slate stone of NW orientation. Two smaller sides stones support impresive flat stone. Though describe as the portal tomb it might be rather remnant of the court tomb with missing court part.
Central monument is surrounded by the circular alignment of at least 20 stones. Some of them are in upright position. I visited the site on lovely sunny day with no one far around so I really did enjoy!

Log Text: So called "Killybeg standing stones" is either big mystery or simply a little mistake. There are no such stones in this area except Saval More pair.
There used to be a lonely menhir in the field about 150m SW from the Saval More stones. Some old photos can still be found on a web that can prove it. This "Kyllibeg" stones was probably mistaken for this vanished menhir.
Unfortunately even the lonely stone doesn't exist anymore. Most probably was stolen and moved to unknown place. I talked to local lady resident who confirmed that. She said that "the stone stood there since ever. And suddenly disappeared by the day.. roughly about 5 years ago.".

Log Text: Locally well known and favourite stone monument. Large granite boulder with several typical oval depressions, some may call it "prophetic" or "sacrificial bowls". Archaeological survey in 60s found some ancient working tools in close vicinity which fact can support therories about prehistoric sanctum.
Some nice folk tales are related to this particular stone. One is explaining where the name Herrgottstein - The stone of the Lord, came from. It says that these bowl like depressions arised on the seventh day of Creation. Three wishes will be fulfilled to whoever sits there.

Quellenreuth Stein submitted by ladrin on 25th May 2020. Could it be an ancient prehistoric monument?
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Large piece of smoothly shaped granite block located on the edge of the forest, about 500m south of the Quellenreuth stone cross. It has about 120 cm in height. There is no written record about its origin or purpose.
The stone is locally known as a Swedish or French stone and folks legend talks about Thirty Years War grave. Some theories suppose this monument is the remnant of a medieval shrine other believe it is an ancient menhir.

Müllerstein submitted by ladrin on 25th Feb 2020. Nice monument in a lovely day...
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Beautifully carved stone standing in the quiet edge of small bavarian town Schonwald. It is not quiet clear what was his original purpose. Selected from existing theories it can be later christianized ancient menhir, old germanic burial stone above the grave, medieval cross or propitiatory stone or boundary stone.
In any case it is about 120cm tall granite slab of maximum width 95cm. The stone is known as a "Müllerstein" (simply "Millstone"). On both sides it has quite sophisticated engravings of crosses.
According to local legend the stone is standing in the place where two boys from the local mill ...that is what its name came from... were killed in a bloody fight for a girl. Another two stones should indicate burial place of those millers and they are located less then one km from here in the woods.

Log Text: Nice stone standing at the junction just by the route. Probably milestone or propitiatory cross. The only confusing thing is engraving of perhaps maltese cross, what is truly unusual in this area.

Zbuzany Stone submitted by ladrin on 16th Dec 2015. Carving of a greek or an Ankh cross
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Nice and among the local community well known standing stone in sum. About 90cm tall hard sand stone, 25cm wide. The stone has uncertain history. First record about the stone is from 1785. There is an interesting carving of an greek or perhaps the Ankh cross on the back side. Local residents seem to be very proud of their little menhir, because there is 6 streets in total called "Next to the menhir... 1-6". Rumours say that an old druids shrine stood in the place of the village.

Smečno Menhir submitted by ladrin on 27th Dec 2015. 110 cm tall, 70cm wide and 25cm thick slab from slightly ferriferous hard sandstone. On the northern side is carving of the latin cross. There is a ĺocal folklore related to the stone about merchant murdered by bandits. It is not clear, whether it is an old menhir with newer carving or medieval propitiatory cross.

Log Text: Standing stone in the centre of the village Tuchlovice. It can also be a medieval propitiatory stone. Anyway to stone was replaced here from its origin location to prevent it before road construction. To be honest I would picked better location for such monument. Now it is hidden in the shadow of not much fancy shop building so it is really hard to notice it at all.
The other stone mentioned in the description is lost for ever I am afraid....

Mesicni menhir submitted by ladrin on 9th Aug 2016. "Moonstone" of the mysterious Javorník hill.

Log Text: The most prominent of the Javorník stones and the first documented. The stone monolith is up to 190 cm tall and from the different sides has different shapes. Sensitive people say that it is a place of great energy, though its southern side is allegedly very negativ. The stone is well signposted, tourist trail leads there and there is also a little parking slot nearby.
