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!

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.

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.
