| Currabeha (North) stone circle |
Description:
This stone circle is described on Archaeology.ie as follows;
"On hilltop, in rolling pasture land. Circle incomplete; appears to have consisted of nine or perhaps eleven stones. Five erect stones and number of prostrate slabs survive, including probable entrance stones. Orthostats are 0.8m to 1.2m L, 0.5m to 0.7m T and 0.5m to 0.9m H. Internal diameter of circle is c. 7m. Multiple-stone circle (CO083-110----) 320m to SSE. (Ó Nualláin 1984a, 16, no. 14)"
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.
