Cloghboola Beg Stone Circle, Cairn and Alignment Located at Millstreet Country Park, County Cork are the remains of a megalithic complex consisting of a damaged 5 stone circle, best seen in the foreground of the image below, a radial cairn and what may be the remains of a fallen row. The two near stones below are the portals set radially to the pointed recumbent. The north-western side stone is broken with the top now lying between the SE side stone and the entrance stones. The radial cairn is located just south of the circle with a large number of low stones set radially. There are also other large stones lying around the site that could be from a fallen row. There are a number of megalithic sites in the Cork area that have similar these features Circle, Cairn and Row, Kealkill, Knockraheen and Knocknakilla only two kilometres from here, are amongst the best examples. |
