A fourth socket was revealed by excavation to the east (right of pic) The mediaeval road is between the stones and the trees. The stones visible to the right are the circle. All around this site are relict field boundaries and unusual stone features which easily justify the walk up the hill.

Drombohilly Stone Circle

Drombohilly Stone Circle submitted by frogcottage42 on 21st Feb 2010. At the centre of this circle where one would often find a boulder burial there is this stone with a fine prehistoric spiral carving and of course lots of modern "offerings". Alongside is a white quartz stone about 18" across. Even though they could be recent additions the carving at least looks contemporary.

Clogherane

Clogherane submitted by frogcottage42 on 22nd Feb 2010. This view uses the horizon to hide the modern bungalow which is barely 30m behind these striking stones. The taller one is 2.6m high and from this angle looking west obscures the Shronebirrane valley which contains a circle and numerous prehistoric sites.

Reenkilla submitted by frogcottage42 on 22nd Feb 2010. This is the NW and tallest stone of this unusual group. Measuring 2.4m high and about .75m at it's widest. The smaller SE and SW stones can be seen to either side. This monument can only be reached by wading at low tide and is at serious risk of being damaged by falling trees which almost totally obscure it from view.

The Cave of the Scribing

The Cave of the Scribing submitted by frogcottage42 on 1st Mar 2010. These are deeply incised. There are very few natural stones in the area hard enough to create these marks and the angle is more like the blade of an axe.
