This restored fort is well worth a visit. You can enter the fort and even climb the walls using the several built in stairways.

Gurteen stone circle submitted by BrethynDa on 28th Aug 2002. Gurteen Stone Circle
SW of Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry. Portal stones at NW. Accessible by foot after a 10-minute drive from Kilgarvan. Ask for directions at O'Suilleabhain's Pub in the village.
Note to visitors: if you find yourself in a farmyard with three ferocious dogs, you've gone too far. Go back down the hill and look for the metal gate on the right. The circle is on a small hill beyond the gate.

Grime's Graves Flint Mines submitted by Thorgrim on 8th Jun 2004. Galleries radiate out from the bottom of the mine shaft in search of the top quality "floorstone" flint. They are only two or three feet high and would have been a tight squeeze

Don the provided hard hat and decend the shaft to view side shafts and artefacts. The surrounding area, with other shafts, either marked or filled, can we rambled on at leasure throughout the year.

Log Text: I know this site well and am pleased to see it here as it is my first new site addition to Megalithic Portal. Condition is somewhere between 2 and 3. A steep climb up from Bantry Riding (excellent riding centre) but well worth it. The views across Bantry Bay are superb and a climb to the top is well worth it too, if you still have the energy!

Derrynafinchin submitted by frogcottage42 on 4th Mar 2010. This is actually a very complete circle, it is so close to the road that two stones have been uprooted and dropped into the circle to allow traffic to pass!
A fence bisects the site and the other stones are hidden in the gorse.
There is parking nearby

Log Text: I pass close by frequently. Always give acknowledgement to it. A pity it is so close to the tared road and that the gorse encroaches so much. A lovely drive across the mountains from Kilgarvan though.

Blocc and Bluigne submitted by McDeil on 8th Jan 2002. These two stones are inside the churchyard at the Hill of Tara.
Obviously they pre-date the church. Strange that they allowed pagan stones to remain within their hallowed grounds?
