The Stone Circle of Kealkill
Visit the stone circle of Kealkill, thought to be

The site was excavated as recent as 1938 by Séan P.

Typically these five standing stone circles, found
only in counties Cork and Kerry, and always consists of the axial stone facing
two stones referred to as portal stones, which marks the entrance to the
circle. Remember the exact purpose of these stone circles are unknown but
thought to be to facilitate rituals of some sort.
