Log Text: A superb example of two back to back Court tombs with a central chamber between the two. Access is over a small style at the roadside. Very dry when I visited but the approach to the raised site will probably be very boggy in wet weather. It is possible to park a single car on the opposite side of the road but it would be difficult to pull out again safety due to almost no view of oncoming traffic. Better to park about 600 yards away near what looks like a haulage yard opposite to some houses.

Log Text: The major Cairn structure covering is largely destroyed but well defined. The key orthostats that make up the central chambers are fairly well intact with some petroglyphs weathered but still quite visible. Others have been eroded away to a large extent but can still be viewed in good light. The Cairn is quite well aligned with the November and February cross quarters and it appears the alignment is designed to signify the last day in the November cross quarter and the first day of the February cross quarter before the departure or at at the arrival of light into the chamber. There is significant decoration in the right hand chamber that would be highly illuminated on these dates. Unlike Cairn L where this also occurs the loss of tunnel structure means that this effect is much less evident.

Coomatloukane submitted by frogcottage42 on 4th Apr 2010. This shows how the capstone, which must weight in excess of 7 tons is well propped up and forms a 2m x1m chamber about .7m high beneath

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.

Log Text: Recent work with a large digger (currently still on site) within a few metres of the circle detracts from the site at present. Also much rampant gorse pushing up around the outer stones. Still a site well worth visiting though.

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.

Log Text: A superb setting for this well preserved circle. Could just be seen from the road at the time of my visit but difficult to access due to highish barbed wire fences. I often carry a piece of hessian sacking to wrap around barb wire in these situations.
Drombohilly wedge tomb is about 200m due South, a climb of about 30m according to OS map. Well worth the effort to find.

Drombohilly Wedge Tomb submitted by frogcottage42 on 1st Mar 2010. From this lofty position the occupant of this tomb would have had panoramic views of the Kenmare River and Macgillycuddy's Reaks.
There are many other less obvious burials in the immediate area and the site overlooks the field systems at Lehid
