Kealkil Stone Circle, Standing Stones and Cairn, Co. Cork.
Everyone who has been to this place will describe to you in animated terms how perfect the space, location and placement of stones is here high above the small village of Kealkil. Overlooking Bantry Bay to the west and the lowlands and mountains that make West Cork famous, its best to come on a fine day so you can appreciate the view without becoming part of it, the winds here are so strong! The two tall stones make even the tallest person tiny in comparison though the small stone circle (one of Irelands smallest) can soothe any feelings of being dominated! Well worth even a long journey to visit.
