Reananerree Stone Circle in Co. Cork.



Description:

This stone circle is described on Archaeology.ie as follows;

"On low platform in rough pasture. Circle complete; orthostats are 0.6m to 1m L, 0.25m to 0.4m T and 0.3m to 0.9m H. Internal measurement along main axis, aligned NE-SW, is 2.4m. Stone row (CO069-027----) stands 120m to SSE. (O Nualláin 1984a, 37, no. 67)

Jack Roberts, who has been studying the stone circles of Cork & Kerry for 30 years, suspects that this stone circle is aligned to the sun-set on the Winter Solstice.
