Broadleas stone circle sits in a quiet slice of land at a fork in the road not far from the N81 from Dublin to Baltinglass. It is only a few minutes drive from Athgreany stone circle and both are made with large boulders though Broadleas has many more stones. It may once have been contiguous all the way around and still is in parts which has led to some speculation that it could possibly be the remains of a passage tomb kerb, the respected expert on stone circles, Aubrey Burl, believes however that it belongs to the late neolithic tradition that began in Carrowmore of close set boulder circles that perhaps then developed into the larger spaced and more disciplined circles of the Bronze Age.
