Visited: Would like to visit
Proleek Dolmen submitted by Sunny100 on 1st Sep 2010. The Proleek dolmen or burial chamber near Ballymacscanlan dates from the Neolithic period - some 5,000 years ago.

Grange (Co. Limerick)

Grange (Co. Limerick) submitted by KenWilliams on 19th Aug 2022. Ken Williams makes the first find of megalithic art in County Limerick at the wonderful Late Neolithic embanked stone circle at Grange, Lough Gur. Ken writes: I just dropped by when passing yesterday and discovered one or the stones has beautiful megalithic art, previously unrecorded.
The style and technique used seems most like passage tomb art c. 3,200-2,900BC, or a small number of carved stones with unusual designs that seem to fit somewhere between the Neolithic and Bronze Age.

The Gallarus Oratory submitted by swatson on 22nd Jul 2004. History Gallery
The enigmatic Gallarus Oratory on the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry, Ireland. The date of it's construction is a matter for debate: some scholars put it around 600AD and others as late as 1200AD. Not pre-historic, but interesting.

Site Type: Stone Circle

Visited: Would like to visit
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.

Giant's Table submitted by EdwardTheHead on 6th Apr 2007. Wedge tomb near Ventry Co Kerry. Tomb seems to lie in a north south line as the bay in the background is to the south. To get here you will most likely have to ask a local as I did both times I was here. This is on private land, and usually has sheep around.
