Knocknakilla submitted by Johnny on 21st Jun 2002. Knocknakilla Megalithic Complex, Co. Cork (W297 841):
On the NW slopes of Musherabeg Mountain, Knocknakilla, the "stone of the church", is almost a twin to the megalithic complex at Kealkil (cf): both sites consist of a five-stone ring, a pair of standing stones and a radial cairn. Of the two pillar stones, one is now prostrate the other being the dominant feature in the complex standing 3.7m in height. The stones would originally have been just over 3.5m apart and aligned NNE-SSW....

Log Text: In forest, on NW slopes of Rock Hill, on E side of Clyda River valley.Stones, aligned NE-SW, stand 1.6m apart; overall length is 2.9m. NE stone is 0.45m L, 0.45m T and 1.4m H. SW stone is 0.55m L, 0.5m T and 1.55m H. Possible five-stone circle (CO051-018----) stands 10m to SSE. (O Nualláin 1988, 242, no. 85)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
Nice stones but access is brutal. Located on the edge of a Sitka spruce plantation the last few metres to get from the forest track to the site will leave you exhausted as you thrash your way through undergrowth. Take some sort of GPS device or compass or you might never get alive.

Log Text: In forest, on NW slope of Rock Hill on E side of Clyda River valley. Possible five-stone circle represented by one erect and three prostrate slabs. Orthostat is 1.15m L, 0.25m T and 1.1m H. Socket visible beside prostrate slab to W indicates diameter of c. 4.4m. Pair of standing stones (CO051-178----) stands 10m to NNW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
Everything ages, some things well and others not so well. Unfortunately this site has seen better times. The circle is a ruin, only four stones are visible and only one stands. In earlier times this would have been a good site overlooking the surrounding countryside from an elevated position with a stone pair close by.
A Sitka spruce plantation now covers the area and the site is surrounded by thick pine vegetation. Access is a bl***y nightmare, take a chainsaw or be prepared to crawl.
