Uragh Stone Circle; County Cork.


A huge monolith is set very close to the tiny stone circle, and the whole is perched on a little terrace halfway up the hillside giving breathtaking views across Loch Inchiquin.

The circle is a typical Irish five stone recumbent with average sized slablike stones tangentially placed, all are standing but the SE portal stone has started to fall.

The monolith is a huge rectangular slab standing only 60cm from the recumbent stone, it has been arranged radially to the circle, totally dominating the site. Uragh should be at the top of the trip list for the megalithically inclined visitor in this region.
