| Cohaw | Court Tomb | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Cavan | Visited | 29th Jun 2021 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 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 t... Read More |

| Derrynafinchin | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Cork | Visited | 8th Dec 2012 | 2 | 5 | 5 | I pass close by frequently. Always give acknowledgement to it.

Cork | Visited | 1st Sep 2011 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 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.

| Carhoonmeengar East | Rock Art | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Feb 2013 | 3 | 3 | 4 | A bit difficult to locate but well worth it. A wonderful example of its type.

| Drombohilly Stone Circle | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Feb 2013 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 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... Read More |

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... Read More |

| Cashelkeelty E | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 17th Aug 2021 | 3 | 3 | Bit of a long walk up but well worth it to see the remains of the two stone circles here. | |||
| Derrynablaha | Rock Art | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Feb 2013 | 1 | 5 | 4 | Many examples of rock art from very clear to almost erased/obscured.
