Log Text: Easily accessed and located from the main road. Travelling west there is a pull in on the left with a sign to the well. A few minuets walk on the footpath leads you to this well which seems to be well visited judging by the offerings of all types. Well worth a visit. I stop by from time to time when I am in the area.

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.

Derrynablaha submitted by frogcottage42 on 20th Mar 2010. This represents the most basic sort of rock art.
There are about forty shallow indentations on the top of this slab but they are very weathered.

Log Text: Many examples of rock art from very clear to almost erased/obscured. Large scattered site that is well worth a visit or preferably more than one if you want explore this area.
A superb setting easily accessed initially before requiring rock scrambling and hunting on both sides of the road.

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.
