Description
Derreenataggart Stone Circle is located near Castletownbere, on the Beara Peninsula, in the western part of county Cork. This well preserved stone circle has 7.8m in diameter and probably had 15 upright stones of which 9 are still standing, 3 have fallen and 3 are missing. The entrance is marked by pair of tall portal stones and together with a recumbent stone, which is placed opposite, it creates straight line aligned to solstice or equinox. The purpose of this Bronze Age construction is uncertain but usually it had ritual and astrological meaning.
